| I had just exited ONE of our Private Farming Areas that took me out and onto the famous 42nd Traverse - this is Kapoors Road, the farm ride that led me here was absolutely fantastic and will please you very much, beats taking the SEALED route to get to this Epic Area, Taking That Road LESS Travelled - very appealing, and fortunately one that I will be travelling over again 15th December and WE ARE ON !!! |

Our Concepts over the past Gravel Season have seen us bring to you a mix of seal/gravel/off road - all of the very basic ingredients required for your enjoyment of taking adventure with your dual-purpose motorcycle to enjoy" Those More Out Of The Way Places" we have locked away inside of our beautiful New Zealand . Next season promises to be equally as exciting, and we will be implementing a New Structure to our Ride Group Membership that Jim and I both run and organise. If you like what we have organised over the coming Season you are welcome to rejoin us for yet again another exciting Season taking it to NGARNZ Stylez. New membership forms will be mailed to our Ride Group members for renewals in the New Year.
Highlights (a few pics at this stage) from our
10th November Waikaretu Adventure Now Available - Helmet Cam footage available shortly:

A huge thanks must surely go to The Team at The Nikau Caves based at Waikaretu. Anne and her team worked tirelessly on our behalf, baking and serving up a raft of goodies for our hungry Gravel Riders. I am certain our riders did not go away famished. With devonshire scones on tap for our mng tea/early lunch through to our later luncheon approximately 2:30pm when we arrived in from Beachside. This later lunch was co-ordinated to time in with local tides in the area. Thanks so very much to everyone here.

| Preparing for freshly brewed coffee - Geraldine takes the FIRST PLUNGE - and of course The Good Old Fashioned Devonshire Scones were indeed looking very pleasant!!! That plate is NOT going to last long when +++ The Boys Arrive ++++ |
Did you know that Nikau Caves also conducts Cave Tours???? If you are interested, phone them to make your booking. A most unique experience, if you haven't taken the TOUR here yet, you owe it to yourself to GO DO!!!

Arriving at BP Bombay early mng, the bikes just kept on coming, and it wasn't long before the back entrance of the car park was taken up with our group in attendance. Sorry, my camera couldn't quite fit you all in. BUT if you missed out being captured in this scene shot, rest assured WE HAVE YOU COVERED!!!
