Hi Hadrian,
I am planning some easy cruising for tomorrow, but your place is a 200km round trip just to get there and back for me 🙁
In my magic crystal ball I can see a weekend Waikato ride for February (maybe Jan).
I hope we can catch up then.

Thank you all for turning up for this ride in such an awesome number! I hope everyone enjoyed the ride despite the unexpected road closure which “slightly” altered out route. 🙂

Hi everyone,
We did talk about to have a bite and a (soft)drink at the end of the rally when we got back to Auckland.
Today I did talk to to the people at The Riverhead and they are OK if we will congregate there.

Everyone will arrive back to Riverhead about 4pm on Monday. If you still have the energy and time, we will end the ride at The…[Read more]

Hi Adrian,
Welcome to adventure riding!
Advice, hmmm…. You will figure out things very quickly. 🙂
Maybe only one. Travel light.
Do not hold it back, if you have any questions. I don’t remember to see unanswered questions here.
See you on the Monday ride.

Hi,
I am jealous and happy at the same time. It is a shame i could not ride on the weekend at all, and happy you had such a good time.
Thank you @herman-prinsloo for taking care of this ride.
@oldbeer would you mind if a couple of pictures will make it’s way to the klrramblers.wordpress.com?

Hi,
Good question.
The fuel stations we put on the map are at the end of each stage.
The ride starts from a Z petrol station.
Near the end of stage1 and start of stage2 is a GAS petrol station. The distance you need to cover for stage1 is ~182 km.
The other stages were planned on the same way. The distances are indicated next to the GPX track…[Read more]

@eddieb
I will deliver the map to the show on Friday around 5pm.
The bike will follow shortly and I can stay to help with the setup.
Also, I can attend the stand on all day Saturday, and all day Sunday.
I will help with taking down the stand as well.

Mark, yes I did save some from the Facebook page with enough good resolution.
Don’t worry about converting the pictures. Just make sure those are not smaller than the required. I need to do some clipping anyway. Digital phoros never have 4:6 or 5:7 ratio.
