I'll trade ya a sammy for a slightly squishy banana...........

admitting that you have a squishy banana on this forum is a very brave thing to do....

[pete376403]

About 50mm, ish... the container it fits into is 65mm wide internally (click clack box)
You have to cut them out yourself to make the roll from A4 sheets so you can trim a bit if it is critical.

The strips are one third of an A4 sheet, no? That would make them 70mm wide. How much margin between that and the actual size of the diagram?

If your going to be pedantic, A4 is 207mm wide, so not quite 70mm!
I've only done one of these route sheet thingies before so am not the expert but they easily fitted into the click clack so maybe it's 4 strips per sheet? It was 2 years ago, and I don't recall accurately.....

No, it's not senile dementia either.

My only bit of advice is don't start drinking until after you've assembled the route....I seem to remember it being a touch more confusing the next day than it should have been!

Hopefully you will be taking it a bit more slowly with your wife on the back than you did on your suzuki going to waikaremoana

Catch up with you on Saturday

Sorry, not being a pedant, just accurate. ISO A4 is 210 w x 297 L
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A4_paper_size.
The route sheets I've done in the past have been 3 per sheet.
Warehouse Stationary sell some cheap paper trimmers (less than $20) which will cut a lot neater and (more importantly quicker) than scissors. Means you can get to the strips assembled and get to the bar earlier...

Hi Gang. Myself, Brett and Murray will be there at Ohakune 1230-1300 ish...
We plan to head around Whakamaru, the back of the lake and down to Ohakune via National Park Road.
As to the route from Ohakune we are all open to suggestions but if it takes us off the beaten track all the better.
I will have a looksie at the map and see what route we can take.
Haven't got to be in Plimmerton until 5ish anyway so there is plenty of time.
Catch you all tomorrow somewhere round the roads and looking forward to meeting you all.

What are your route plans from Rotorua to Ohakune?
We're taking SH1 (then maybe around the back of the mountains) from Rotorua

Got my route sheet off 4skins last night so I'll have a crack at putting it together tonight. He'd said to me earlier how he's made the middle strip wider so with the print margins the two side ones are equal width. I'll see how it goes but it didn't seem like a smart idea for us with the nice compact click clacks because trimming the margins off in the past has always given me a good sized strip.

See you all Saturday if not at the briefing on Friday night at the boat club.

I realised last night, examining a copy of the 2006 CCA route sheet I found (don't ask) that that's what I should have done when assembling my 2008 sheets. Like a tit, I cut the margins off both sides, then cut the middle strip a couple of mm narrower than marked because "bless John, he's made the middle strip a bit wider than the others."

D'uh, amn't I clever?

Fitted my front rim lock last night, ride to work says it's nicely balanced. I'll do the rear tonight. I may or may not fit the new clutch hub that WMC have for me. One way or t'other, I should be set.
