Rode nearly 7 hours through that last night. Toes a bit wet (new waterproof boots) but otherwise dry. So I've got my gear sorted.
Severely tested my party mode and alcohol tolerance over the weekend at the Rural Riders Rally - Tahora; and passed with flying colours ...
I'm in.

Yes, I remember Steve sending various people to our room asking for more booze. Unfortunately I was in bed and not in a fit state to answer the door

But as for the male gay, porn towel whipping incident, Im glad I didnt see it!

Got laid off last week, so may be work dependent.

....and if a stereophonics tee shirt should reappear at the side of the hotpool.....that'd be nice!

I've heard rumours that this particular joint has a specific kind of job on offer. If you drink, do not sign. If you sign, do not be surprised to find yourself in a strange land watching out for IEDs.

Should be self-explanatory and may be nothing but a rumor, albeit from a reasonably reliable source.

Yes, we highly recommend bringing a 'soap on a rope' LOL

Start thinking about where we want to go for the Saturday (for those who will get down there Friday) and more important, the Sunday ride.

My votes are for: (depending on the weather)

The forgotten highway via back through Wanganui
Meeting up with the Napier crew and escorted through their playground (like a previous time)
Gisborne via ?
