L's Angels Ride to the Naki (Feb 9/10) 2013

As for the $10 to be collected by FLO for Saturday Pizzas at Base Camp? any money left over, if there is no objection, we would like to give it to the Cancer Society.[/B]

What a damn good idea.

Should have booked earlier! There seems to still be a $70 cabin, or I can get a $60 room at a backpackers 3 km away...

Anyone else still looking at accommodation?

[Maha]

So it looks like all accommodation (apart from tent sites) have been booked for that Saturday night!

Damn procrastination

We've found a motel in walking distance that has rooms for pretty cheap I've attached the link below in case people left it too late like us

So we're all booked and ready to go

If you can't get in at the Camp, the link above is where a few are staying.
But, someone may offer up a corner somewhere?...I think nerrd may have space? he got a cabin I think.

I've got one of these: "STANDARD 2 BERTH CABIN: has a double bed, heater, fridge and sea views. Use communal facilities. Sleeps 2."

So not sure how much extra space there'll be but if there's room someone else is welcome to it (I call shotgun on the bed, though.)

Good luck to yall,

I would love to come but I think I am way too noob to be doing a long ride like that.
+ i dont know anyone.

But i did manage 188k's in one day yesterday with a mate. and it was my only second time on the open road.
(freakin loved the Puhoi Pub )

Anyways I hope all make it back safe.

Keep an eye out for other rides we post up.
To put you mind at ease, there is always people that attend these ride that have not met any others.
These ride are put together with the newer in mind, we stop about every 80ks or so, it can take from 10am till 4:30pm to ride 350kms.
Lunch is normally a pretty casual affair, no rush, can take about an hour to feed 20-25 people, just when everyone is ready its time to go.
There will be a 3rd annual North Cape ride in Nov, over three days, piss easy...once again, not a rush job, take it easy and enjoy the days riding.
Just have to get in quickish really, I want no more than 24-25 bikes..that makes for an easy three group split.

Ok, the floor does not sound like me, so I booked a cabin with toilet. (Luxury I know). It has a room with a bunk, and a queen, so I guess I am the one with room.

Locked in, so I guess I am coming!

Monkfish: I don't know anyone either (except for random postings here). It just makes it more exciting, right?

Exciting?...I dunno, gotta watch out for that Doogle, when theres water about he takes off his clothes and jumps in...
See you at Pirongia around 11:45 for a caffine fix!

You know me, I think, from the course in Hamilton. I was one of the girls with a GN

And with you coming I know exactly 2 people

I have a Taupo overnighter in mind for the end of March/Begining of April and perhaps another one at the end of winter.

Big thumbs up for this one

I guess so.

P.s. you're bike is almost identical to mine

[Maha]

Didn't think there would be an issue, had to ask though because its not our money, we did the $10 thing in Taupo last year and it got us, 18 Pizzas for tea and enough food to feed everyone for breakfast the next morning.
Breakfast is at Big Jims on Sunday morning (link to menu in post 2) so there maybe some money left over, who knows?..Doogle might want to eat more that usual...

My first ride with this bunch I didn't know anyone either. Everyone is happy and friendly, so don't be a grouch and you'll fit right in.

As for the Hamilton riders, I was thinking of going to the ride by heading out toward Raglan, then turning down Te Pahu Rd and heading to Pirongia that way (Get us warmed up). If we are early we could do a lap of Limeworks Loop Rd?
