Dannevirke to Te Awanga 05/01/08

[chanceyy]

just set the date & go with it .. you will never get a date to suit everyone

am off til the 7th so any day prior to that is fine with me ..

I could be into that. I'm only 45mins from Dannevirke on HW50 anyway.
My folks live in Te Awanga too, and I also grew up in that area.
Sounds like a good day ride.
The cafe at Clifton is always full on that time of year.

I may be able to scoot down there for the ride. Sounds great.

hmmm.....will have to give that a little thought, maybe a mid week ride unless there was some others interested that could only do the weekend.
Then I guess it would be either the 2nd or the weekend of the 12th.(January)
I'll ponder this, I know one other at least that would be interested.
Tell ya what though, if i'm organizing it there wont be any 200k plus stints without a break, please, no offence to the guys who organized the last Forgotten World highway ride but i'm just not into that.

Yea well just set one up mate and i will definitely come along id have to agree with you there about the 200km non stop im not a big fan of the non stop rides either .well 2nd and the 12th suit me fine so just let me know which one your doing and ill make sure im there

Awwwwww c'mon man, now you've got ya new horse you should be dead keen...

Seriously though, we never did 200k's in one stint that day. Longest leg without a break: Wanganui to Stratford (yawn).

Also, before you go setting up another ride thru the Forgotten Highway, don't forget the Chateau - Plateau ride on the 27th.

No worries, had a decent ride on it today, went really well I thought.
It's not perfect but better resolved than what I was riding as you may well expect.
There are a couple of things I may change over time but nothing that cant wait.

Bump

[NZsarge]

Since the bike took a real hard look at the tarseal I wont be riding (obviously) so unless someone else wants to take up the task of organizing????
