Celebrate riding in the winter.

Not quite the shortest day but close enough.

Sunday the 18th of June.
Meet at the top car park by the map board (over the wooden bridge) at 9:00am, departure 9:30am.

Could be sunny/frosty/rainy/snowy/muddy, probably all in the same day.

Also the chance for a mid winter swim in the Karapoti River.

Open to the option of detours and "short cuts" .

There wll be available a BBQ for a post ride cook up.
So, BYO bring your sausages, breead, etc.

Dave

Could be good for a giggle.

I did the single track of the side of the Pram Track today. It was fun. Slippy but fun. Double Thumbs Up

It's had a lot of use by motorcycles since I was last through there a couple of months ago. Quite a mess now Sad

And I've heard of people not enjoying the Tiri to bottom of Dopers detour when it's wet & slippy.

Providing of course an incendiary devive of an appropriate type can be found.
