Once again John Forsyth has organized and managed a superb event. The CCA 2008 was blessed with fine weather and an excellent attendance. This is a must do event and it's only on every two years. If you missed it, you'll have to wait until 2010.I'll just upload the photos for now and add text later. If you were there and have photos or wish to add anything, feel free to jump in anytime.Waikato Valley on the way downA quick stop to take in the scenery. Richard K. on the phone to his stock broker.Richard going for it.Next morning behind the Owhango HotelBack road from Owhango to Raurimu, very pretty scenery along the way.Getting ready for the event.Aslan (on the left) riding past.View of Mana Island and the South IslandTony and his F650. He did the ride with two busted fork seals. It takes a lot more to stop Tony.An American who lives in Wellington. He completed the ride on his Adventure. He had taken the screen off before the ride, only one indicator was knocked off.Me checking out the view.Hobbit housesMy bike checking out the view.Sheep shelter, well actually it's an old bunker from WW2

You're too kind Stephen, I could not keep up with you,except when you were cutting corners and were trying to ride on thin air.

Great day out!! The weather gods certainly played the game, and thank heavens for that  😀 The weekend previous was a pretty dismal recce of the route. I had a fantastic time and in great company with Tony Cottle on his HP2. You may not have noticed that four HP2s were present for this event, not bad out of seven in the country. I think John F wanted to hide us from the KTM boys  😎Sadly, being out the front unlocking gates (most of which were in the challenge sections) meant very little opportunity to take it easy or get photos (and we missed the BBQ lunch), particularly as some of the chasing pack were pretty quick or, for those who gave the best bits a miss or simply took a wrong turn, managed to end up in front of us somehow. Good to see you Alex and great that many other members of the Register geared up for this event. Jo enjoyed herself, pretty sure I can see a grin under that helmet.
