KB Gathering - Turangi 4-6 June 2011 (Queen's Birthday Weekend)

**nadroj** · 20th April 2011, 07:57

As has happened in the past best intentions of a particular ride are undone by the weather.
Best we have several options available and make a joint decision 'around the pool' the night before.
Options of different rides to attendees tastes or abilities have not detracted from everyones enjoyment in the past, so no need to feel out of your depth for the less experienced.

See you all there!

Could be keen, will be weather/finances dependant though.

I'm out... the BMW will be in a container 2 weeks prior to Queen's Birthday...

**Qkchk:Me** · 25th April 2011, 21:13

Okay, seems like we have a few people interested and the 'usual' riff-raff will be turning up...

Will post up details tomorrow night but its pretty much the same as last year only the dates are different...

Im sure you may be able to share a warm (dry) cabin with a couple of the lads to keep costs down unless you intend on earning the 'hardarse' award!

Weather has a big part to play over the weekend, we usually get at least one good day of riding and one good night of drinking!
