I am a bit gutted to be quite honest One of my kitchen designers/office manager has a month off having an operation and one of our joiners left a couple of weeks ago so we have had to have a change around of staff leaving me to run the whole office on my own so i havnt had time to even think about riding let alone getting on the bike so it has sat in the shed since Sunday
However i am going to Wellywood on Saturday to measure a couple of jobs so my choice of transport is very obvious,

even if its raining

400 kms on her so far and i can tell you the heated hand grips work extremely

well
On a bright note though it will feel new for a lot longer

I could do your job while you go out riding all day.

I am experienced in surfing kiwibiker all day.

Oh shit sorry, that was Yods job not yours, looks like your stuck.

good point. I heard carpenters hire staff on the way they 'measure'

for some reason I doubt that would go down well with meanie.

buy a kwaka. Best idea you have had so far. Besides, there happens to be something in the water round here that forces everyone in the manawatu area to buy a new bike.

Just stuck my name on the list tentatively (pressed mouse button softly). Hope weather will play ball - doesn't look great this weekend. Will try to meet up at Ashurst.

hope I am over this damn sinus infection by then .. cause its fair laying me out at the mo ..

woo hoo nice lil group forming so far .. hope alot more can make it ..

this definately is not a fast ride .. really want some of the lurkers out there to come join us .. important that you ride your own ride

If we have a large enough group we will have a tail end charlie organised (prob me) .. & converge together as a group regularly .. there will be a ride brief at Ashhurst mobil so everyone is in the loop

Since Al pretty much rode the route today & I have not been past masterton will rely on his expertise on the roads further south ..

anything else ppl can think of to make this ride successful .. Al was thinking if you, yod, meanie take the lead & like turangi when you turn off second rider stops & directs everyone in the same direction once tail end charlie goes through can ride ahead again .. that way the ride can pretty much flow & have fewer stops .. what do you think ? .. we can decide on stopping points to regather again as a whole ...

also where is a good eating place down that way ?? & if we have a large enough number should we warn them ??

Might be a good idea to sort out some sort of timetable and re group points That way if someone along the way wants to join us they know what time and where
Allow enough time for the stragglers
I nominate Yod for this job cause he drew the route on the map

anyone second that

Could have an eating establishment amongst these
