Three Forests Adventure Tour
************************************
Featuring Highlights from our Tour
Sunday 23rd June 2013
Our day begins, and my 5:00 am alarm rings out all too loud and clear, out of bed, semi-dressed and attempting to get organised? Next task, to get husband Jim "OUT OF THE NEST"..... Looking out the door for a quick assessment of the outdoor kind, What clothing apparel to don??... It really is NOT looking that flash out there.... Phone text messages flashing...... Adventure Riders lost, ok, that taken care of, Early morning weather assessment not promising either..... Bikes will be arriving at NGARNZ h q in about "1 ONLY hour",,,,, There are hours, and there are hours, Time was passing all too quickly, WEather assessment made, cool and wet, and well just plain dark outside. Dean arrives with trusty DR650 trailered, roped and ready to go(minus our Bev, that has come to be a custom attendee at our Adventures). Mike is still enroute. DR650 number two has just arrived.
Meeting our NEWER Riders early morning to run over Basics inside of The Forest, it was fast becoming a dash for the road...... Now to meet Neil at our early pre-morning location and we are off...... Our day is now beginning......
Three Forests Adventure Bike Tour Is Now Officially On The Road...........
<<<<<Ride Briefing Begins
Conquering Café Times :)

Worried throughout the day that his vest was under the constant threat of a <<<<<JAFFA ATTACK>>>>>(OH NO) :( This Black Sack ensemble did indeed appear to be keeping the liquid OUT!!! One of SAID JAFFA Riders, quick on recognising another business opportunity here, was fast thinking of HONING IN ON NGARNZ BAGGED VESTS RIGHTS.....
