I'm going for a pootle on the 250! I might get to take in some scenery at the lower speeds.

Plus, I don't like to see this thread relegated to page two!!!

If anyones interested Douge (Pantah 500) and I (on Gerble) are going for a wee poodle tomorrow Pahongina Valley, that place with the DC3 , Hunterville, Fordell, Turakina Valley, Marton, home.

We're leaving Palmerston North around 10am and will swing by Ashhurst Mobil but we wont stop...

Will be a nice sedate pace don't want to get back home too early ah?

Chateau to Plateau tomorrow:

Right here's my plan (and at this stage there's at least 4 of us: 2 x Connies, 1 x Bandit, 1 x Fat Boy & possibly 1 x Horse): we're meeting at BP Rangetiki and leaving at 06:30 (that means wheels turning at 06:30). Heading over Vinegar Hill and up SH1 to Turangi, breakfast at the truck stop, gas up and then over the Hill to the Chateau. Riders briefing is at 10am so need to be there before hand for registration etc.

We'll probably hang back at the Chateau for a while to keep out of all the traffic on the FH. Stop at Whanga for lunch with the rest of the ride but possibly leave early and just come straight home via the 'naki (possible diversion to Inglewood).

If anyone wants to join us on the way up that's fine and then they can either stick with us, go with the main bunch or do their own thing...

Oh, it's gonna be HOT!
