**UPDATE**
Weather tomorrow:
Wellington - Early Drizzle, fine breaks later. Dying Northerlies.
Masterton - Cloudy Periods, risk of afternoon shower. Light winds.
Fuel
It'd be a good idea to fill up before leaving Caltex tomorrow morning. There is fuel available in Featherston (although we're not stopping here) and in Martinborough.
A tank of gas should be more than enough to get you from Caltex, around the back of the lake and to Martinborough then filling up in Martinborough should see you right for the trip to Masterton.
Lunch
The staff at the pub are expecting us!!! When you arrive at the Pukemanu please place your order for lunch, don't wait for everyone to arrive first before ordering.
For those of you that have PMed me with your order, you'll need to order too. The PMs were so I could give the pub an indication of how many of each meals we'd need.
There is also going to be a vegetarian panini type option.
Sweeper - Novice Group
I still need a sweeper for the novice group. You don't need any special skills, you just need to be happy riding at the back of the group and be prepared to stop and lend a hand if required. Please either PM me or come and find me tomorrow morning at Caltex.
Re-grouping Points
Along the way we'll have brief stops for the groups to re-group. The following are the points that we will re-group:
These will be brief stops and and soon as your group's sweeper arrives the group will depart.
- Featherston, just before the turn-off for the Eastern Lake Road
- On the corner of Eastern Lake Road & the East West Access Road
Group Riding
For many of you...this won't be your first group ride, but if it is, it's important to form a staggered riding position. ie. _--_--_--
See you all tomorrow.
