Will be great mate!

I'm pretty sure I will be going now I know there's no obvious spinal area fractures so just tissue trauma to heal enough to ride. Mostly the muscular stuff is now feelin pretty good BUT those 2 points on my back in the centre are now likely ligament type damage so touch & go for whether they will be healed or not BUT I guess prob ok to ride but will need to be very careful on the ride if still a bit sore/weak in those 2 areas. I'll keep everything crossed. Also got phone call with doc tomorrow to follow up post x-rays so will see if he can get me in for some physio on ACC sharpish maybe????

I used to swim alot for fitness and loved it; back in UK 4 lunchtimes per week but have been lazy b*gger since been here! I'm not fast but my ex athletics background meant I was always pushing myself to improve, which kept it fun for me. I think back needs to heal a bit first due to the work your back muscles do in swimming, but yeah would be a good plan I think!

if you bring some rum and promise to leave the sheep alone you could join me stooging around the Whangamomona area on Saturday - you could show me Moki Rd. I was intending to end up in Taumaranuri on Sat night so I can do 42nd/Fischers on Sunday

No sheep, you take all the fun away!

What are your plans, I can not leave on Saturday until 11am ish. Was thinking of heading up to Awakino to meet the team there.

It's been a while since I did it in the gravel and I have been hoping that my circumstances would change so that I could join you all on this ride.
They haven't and I can't - I have some family business that I must attend to and I will be in Invercargill for a week.

Have a good time and be safe.

Maybe next time.

**Aslan** · 17th April 2009, 16:03

would like to have caught up with you again Neale - go well anyway - cheers S

I'd be keen on showing you around on Saturday, I've got E-09s front and rear so should be able to go most places

Has anyone got a bit of floor or a spare bed for Saturday night motorcamp said they are booked out
