Wishing you all a great Easter. Hopefully there's sun for everybody to get out for a ride.
If not be sure to slaughter plenty of those pesky chocolate rabbits.
Tough decision for me, do l go to the National Jazz Festival in town tomorrow or head to the ma in laws in Gisborne, nice 300km ride on the scoota? Maybe l could go to Gizzy on Sunday :boogie:
Be safe :cheers:
Happy Easter everyone. No sun here, been rainy for a while. Promised another low, maybe another 200 mm rain. Not good riding weather.
Yep, do both Col.
as a PS, I won't make Tauranga tomorrow. I'm doing a few roads I've not done before, just on 9 hours straight, so haven't really got time to detour into TGA.
Which way you heading Col ?

Big day for a boy. Have to stay overnight in WLG as last ferry is at 4pm today, (which is crap on a holiday schedule) Last check in time for the Ferry (tomorrow Sunday) is 5.30am, so quiet night for me tonight & early to bed. Then cross & drive to Kaikoura where Mrs Kiwicol awaits.
Big day but looking forward to it.

What time you in Cambridge you reckon ?
Could meet for a quick coffee then l can drop in on my dad. Back Tauranga by midday.
Good to catch up with KiwiCol in Cambridge for a quick coffee and a bite to eat. Beautiful cloudless day. Lots of bikes out making the most of the great weather. 160km round trip for me......a further 7hrs for Col getting to Wanganui then on to Wellington and the ferry.
