Crossing the border ride

**That looks like fun** · 3rd December 2012, 19:05

So I have sat in my cabin for long enough

Its time to ride

On Saturday the 15th at 9:00 o'clock in the morning time, myself and a small but brilliant group of Naki Boys (possibly some shiela's also) will attempt a stealthy border crossing into ....................... (pause for dramatic effect

)
The Wairarapa

Loose plan at present is, weather permitting we will head south going up (yes up) the big yeah na hill of Liqufaction fame

Unless of course its wet in which case for very obvious reasons we wont

.
Tarseal from there to Pahiatua, Stock up brekky supplies then tear into some gravel stuff and a dirt road

We will be staying the night at www.tararua.net/glenross/index.html After dining in the fine atmosphere of the Pongaroa Pub and a good nights sleep its brekky from the supplies then off to Little Manuhara Rd, Makiro Track, North Ridge Rd, then Takapari Rd. After lunch we might go for another ride

This will be a very informal ride (and yes I know its late notice) but all and any are welcome to join us or meet up with us for all or part of the ride.

Tally ho chaps, over the top with you. Have fun I am off to make a cup of tea

Must be a really old map. It should say "Here be burn-outs".

It is old ... it was worth the penny though ...

Before we get to the Wiararapa's and the "dragons" we got to get out of the Naki, for here there be "vans"

Last time I stayed there the owners put on a lovely home cooked roast meal and then came back in the morning and did bacon and eggs for breakfast. Very hospitable and at a really good price

Ahh yes, I remeber that roast meal well mate. Its a nice place to stay and I would recomend it to any one. I have stayed there numerous times since that roast

then $5 for bacon and eggs breakfast

For this ride because it is late organising and so I cant guarentee numbers, rather than put Pauline out with cooking we will take the courtesy bus to Pongaroa and dine at the Pub. Did this with the last group and it was awesome. Food and hospitality were first rate.
Brekky we will be grabbing bread etc from Pahiatua and sharing the cost. Pauline puts on coffee and milk from memory. Dont know how she makes money but she is a damn fine host.
On another note, how is the wing mate? If you ask nice you can drive a moto kar over and spend a night with us if you feel the need

promise I wont tell you took a cage to a ride

See how your #s go there might not be any beds left, as for taking the cage your to late. Went up and caught up with the Hawkes Bay crowd at the museum on Ross's ride. Also heading up to the Bay this weekend for a BMW event dam cage but I promised her indoors that I would stay off the bike for 6 months. Doesn't stop me sitting on ot in the shed though.

I would love to come and get lost with you lot but the army has a bunk and two days riding at Waiourou with my name on it.

Next time, please check with my social calendar before organising any rides I may be interested in.

No Update Mate been doing very little since my off at the MMM ride. Haven't seen a doctor for 2 1/2 months so not sure how it is going.
But finished work for the year on the 29/11 having 7 weeks off so I was told. So there could well be some progress over the next few weeks. Seeing that Im not riding. Just having a few days off to start with to wind down from work.
