I thought it was you that flashed past me heading South on Sunday, around lunchtime you were heading south towards Bulls?

Hi Aslan was the gate open on the river side.
Chers Pete.

Pete - yes the gate was open from the settlement (Matahiwi) - I rode up to the first summit - disused farm house approx 7km in - very dry on sunday past - much papa - different story when wet methinks

thanks for organising access

yip prolly me Mike - altho you flatter me to suggest I flashed past - I'd come down the River Road and by passed Whanganui by coming through Fordell - some nice gravel in there

The following people have asked to be put on the list for the diversion of the Matahiwi track, some people will want to meet up along the way, if those people contact me during the week prior we can try and estimate travel times and probable fuel and food stops.
I will post a time table Monday 20 th.Welly Riders meet Shell Kapi Mana 8am

I was thinking of leaving quite early (7.30?) so I could go via Whangaehu Valley Rd and Fields Track - anyone else interested?

You must have a tough bum mark, its a long way to Otorahanga.

I'm considering heading to Wanganui after the track and doing some exploring (for some bizarre reason I want to go to Taunoka and I want to ride Kiwi Rd etc again) and heading up HW43 to join up with everyone for Sunday morning as I'm really keen to do Fishers and the 42nd.

So when are you going away? Saturday?

The rest of us were going Friday morning to do the Matahiwi Track, get to Otorohanga for Friday night, then Saturday Pirohinga etc, then Sunday Fishers Track & 42nd Traverse.

I'll be doing the Matahiwi Track with you guys on Friday and then probably heading off towards Wanganui. Planning on spending Fri night at Hawera or Stratford which then gives me all of Saturday to dick around in the Whanamomona area before catching up with you lot o Sat night or Sun morning

[nooles]

coooool you can show me how to handle the BIG,
and when i get lost i can follow the sound of that loud roar

Gidday, yeah it will be good to see 2 Bigs together. What sort of tyres are you running on yours at the mo I've got a Pirelli MT60 140/80/17 and a dunlop trailmax on the front. Just put a new fuel filter, air filter and oil/filter in the old girl she should purr now or should I say thump thump like a bitch.

I really really want to do the Whangamomona Rd track but yes Moki Rd has certainly got my attention.

If I have a poke around the area on Saturday we could do the best bits on the way back on Monday


Where are we planning to stay on Sunday night?
1 Plenty of cabins available at Taumarunui motor camp $25pp - which means we won't have to carry our gear on Sunday.
2 Whangamomona Pub $65pp + bar menu. Means more time exploring southwards on Monday.

Aslan what is your recommendation since you rode the TTTT last year?

are you still going to be using those racing slicks you mistakenly call adventure tires? - could be lots of slick clay/mud on these detours

Taumarunui motor camp most probably makes the best sense - but I'm easy

E-09 on the rear(farkin primo) and a dumb arse trail wing on the front.
looking at either tkc M21 or e-09 when i get some $$$$, i'm not to worried at the moment cause the speed i travel dosent push the traction issue

I'm doing the Whanga RD tomorrow so I'll let you know what condition it is in, we have had some pretty big rain here in the Naki over the last couple of days and a lot of snow has dropped on the hill
