Alex's last offishul ride as lead scout is 20 Dec, and tradition (again) says the Register goes in hiatus until February, 'cos most of you lucky peoples have time off, so you hop on your scoots and go interesting places and do interesting stuff. I am jealous!!But I have to stay in town for work, so I will be getting the scoot out on the weekends. I have given Garry the dates I'm going for a ride, and he may or may not put them in the Newsletter, for you forum users, here you are, feel free to join me, please:Sunday 10 Jan 2010, leaving Papakura BP at 0930 for Kawhia. If we are keen, we might come home via Te Anga and Waitomo. Chook chaser boyz, lotsa dirt opportunities for you.
