Meet at Westgate for a 9.30am departure. We'll decide on the day where to have lunch. This could be an opportunity to try out some gravel roads in the area, this optional of course, road riders need not worry.[img width=150 height=106]http://forum.bmwor.org.nz/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=652.0;attach=362;image[/img]

so what is meant by this broad statement.eg. leaving NZ or some other lesser but not as preferred option. (by me that is)  👿and re Dean ,leave him alone. at least being a westie he can sort of spell.

Thanks for that. We may do it on the way back. Especially if there is an event on as we might not make the same destination otherwise.http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Kaiwaka,+New+Zealand&daddr=Mountain+Rd+to:Doctors+Hill+Rd+to:Golden+Stairs+Rd+to:Stead+Rd+to:Waikiekie+North+Rd+to:Mangapai+Rd+to:Hayward+Rd+to:-35.796374,174.291744&hl=en&geocode=Fb462P0dEcxlCg%3BFSIX2f0dn7pkCg%3BFUBl2f0dQJ9kCg%3BFemv2v0dAYtjCg%3BFXwo2_0d12ZiCg%3BFeQU3P0dMgFjCg%3BFR7V3P0d1NdiCg%3BFSw13f0dhnZiCg%3B&mra=mi&mrcr=7&mrsp=8&sz=13&dirflg=w&sll=-35.814472,174.260502&sspn=0.113172,0.197239&ie=UTF8&ll=-35.86457,174.2593&spn=0.113101,0.197239&z=13
