Cool! It looks like there'll be a good turnout.

So far I've got myself, Jezza, Cary & GLG down for friday night accom. Anybody else?

Is that where we stopped last time after we came out of the forest? I need accomodation on the Friday night also please (it isn't too basic is it!!)

Triboy if you are keen I am happy to meet up again and ride across like we did last time?

[tri boy]

Sounds good Mike. I'll try n clear all of Fri, and meet you somewhere thats central. (will drag a few maps out) Is link Rd through the Pureora a goer Clint?
Might hook up with some others near Tauramanui, and take it from there.

I just called the Rangitaiki pub to book some cabins, the woman thought they might have been booked out, but wasn't really sure??? told me to ring back tomorrow. So I'll see how we go there, the Rangitaiki Lodge just down the road also has beer & basic accomodation too so I'll be able to sort something out.

Looks like the Fri night might be a bit of a party! I'll enquire about meal options when I book & let y'all know what's on the menu.

The Rangitaiki Tavern is the place where we stopped at the end of last years ride. The Rangitaiki Lodge is about 5km back towards Taupo & will be the alternative accomodation.

Not sure on the name, I'd have to check the map, but if you mean the main road through Pureora starting at the forest HQ that's a reasonable gravel road, & a really nice ride. We might even go for a burn through there this weekend.

[tri boy]

That will be the one I think. (comes out on hwy32 near Whangamata Rd. Rd to Kinloch)

And another bed at the pub for me please Clint.

How much room do you have in Rotoiti? My olds are in Tauranga so I could (or perhaps should!) crash there.

Thanks

Count me in Clint. If there's room at the inn, I'll stay friday at the Rangi Tavern, otherwise I'll stay at my bro's in Taupo. I'd be leaving Plimmerton around noon Friday and aiming to get back by noon Monday so will prolly head for Taupo Sunday night.

[offrd]

So are the cabins booked out? How did that end up Clint?

[Oscar]

I'll be there.

Hey Clint - LC8 or LC4?

[young1]

I'll be there.

Hey Clint - LC8 or LC4?

I am surprised you even have to ask him - LC8!

The LC4 gets upset if it doesn't get out.

No worries. At Rotoiti there are 5 spare single beds, a double bed & a fold out couch, none of which have been claimed yet, so heaps of room!

Good stuff, you're in!

The inn is filling fast but you're inn too be great to have you along!

So are the cabins booked out? How did that end up Clint?

Called up this morning & they weren't booked out, so they are now! There are2 cabins with 3 single beds in each & 2 cabins with a single & 2 doubles in each. So at the moment there's 1 bunk left. Apparently the pub is changing hands, & I kinda got the impression that their booking system is a note stuck to the fridge or similar, so I'll call up again in a couple of weeks to confirm.

I'll be there.

Hey Clint - LC8 or LC4?

Sweet! You'd have fun on either bike however given there's no snotty tracks on the ride, but there are a quite a few wide open stretches of deserted gravel, I'd say bring the LC8.

Makes my decision easier, was going to try set of TKC80's or similar but may just get intermediates so I won't have to buy a road set for 1000miler etc.

Mind you Brents ride sounds like it may have a few slippy bits...........
