SUMMARY:Maungatutu Big Day Out
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Here's another Big Day Out Ride.   These aren't races - they are just a ful
 l day's adventure - generally on a different bit of road or part of the cou
 ntry to what we are used to.  \nThe first one was from Waipukurau to Master
 ton (with scorching temps), the second was from Utiku (South of Taihape) to
  Fielding via Apiti and the Pohangina Valley (where we had 4 seasons in one
  day) and the 3rd was a tough on - the Gentle Annie ride from Taihape to Na
 pier (in near freezing conditions at times - with the odd hill).  The fourt
 h one was a little closer to home with Janice taking everyone for a tour in
 to Wellington round the bays and out to Makara and return (where it was win
 dy).  We haven't got the weather right for these rides yet sorry....    :) 
  \nThe general formula is to ride a good distance - have lunch - and then c
 arry on a shorter distance after lunch.   And they have all been well suppo
 rted and great fun and good camaraderie...  \nSo - as I still (harshly) get
  accused of being a tad light on the specifics of the ride ("it's all downh
 ill") :) - I thought I'd ask around for more volunteers to organise the nex
 t one - carrying on from Janice's top ride last time.   This time Paul Rawl
 inson put his hand up to set the course and lead the ride.   Paul has prior
  form with this - as it was 2 rides that he organised that I went on - that
  sparked the Big Day Out's in the first place.  He previously organised a w
 inter sojourn through from Mangaweka to Napier and a truly epic ride that w
 ent 210km from Stratford to Tokaanu (followed by a ride the next day over t
 he Desert Road to Taihape for those that wanted it.).  \nPaul has a rule wh
 en he's organising these things - it has to finish at a hot pools...  And t
 his is no exception...\nThere are various options on this one.  All through
  spectacular rural roads.\nHere's Option one - from Kairakau - out on the c
 oast from Wiapawa to Maungatutu...    The last 18km of this route is gravel
  - so some people might opt to just ride to the start of the gravel -that's
  absolutely fine - and would shorten the route to 126km sealed riding. \n \
 n\n\n\nCreate Routes or Search for a route from millions at MapMyRide The 2
 nd option is to start from Waipawa which shortens the route by 15km..\nAnd 
 the 3rd option is to start at Puketapu and ride a 70km Mountain Bike course
 .   This course would be 23km  of country road and the rest farm track or g
 ravel (not too technical and a cross bike would be fine).   (Paul is still 
 checking out permissions on the farm track - so this route has an asterix b
 eside it until we can get confirmation that it's all OK - but let us know i
 f you are keen.)\nPlease let us know if you are keen to come and which opti
 on sounds like you.\nThe organisation would be as follows.\nDate:  Sunday 2
 5th October (Labour Weekend Sunday)\nAs we have in the past - we will hire 
 rental vehicles and take the club trailer for the bikes.   The last couple 
 of times we've had 2 - 12 seater vans.\nWe'll leave early from Raumati Beac
 h - 6am.   This will see us on our bikes at around 9:30am in Kairakau.\nThe
  plan will be to drop off the longer option riders first - then the Waipawa
  riders and lastly the Mountain bikers.\nFor those not wishing to ride the 
 gravel - the vans will pick you up at Balls Clearing (you read that right!)
  which is where the gravel starts. \nWe have stopped for a meal on a couple
  of these rides - but it doesn't work out in this case - so ride through to
  the finish.   Don't forget there will be support vehicles so bring spares 
 and food and the van can carry all this.  Make sure you bring some food and
  drink to share around at the finish as we soak in the hot pools..\nAfter a
  good soak - we'll return via the vans to the Puketapu pub for a meal befor
 e driving back to Kapiti.\nWould expect to get back close to Midnight after
  a full day's adventure..\nCost?  We run these things at cost - as long as 
 you are a Kapiti Club member ($30 to join).   So we split the cost of the r
 ental hire amongst the riders - and everyone looks after their own meals an
 d food.\nWhat next - please let me know asap if you are keen and we'll star
 t planning around how many vehicles we need.  We also need a couple of driv
 ers - so if anyone is keen to help out there as well let me know.\nemail to
