Good on ya!
Anne did the Rainbow Rage last weekend - I assumed the burden of driving around from St. Arnaud to Hanmer
(Actually I figured I owed her for supporting me on the Source to Sea and several other long rides I have done this year).

Should be a nice (but warm) day to ride that loop!

If this is broadening out out to the forumite cycling club, then I'd be interested in meeting up with anyone for some winter training rides in the Bay of Blenty from mid May onwards.

I know another forumite is doing the Taupo round the lake ride later in the year, not sure if there's any more doing it?

Best wishes to all those doing long rides this weekend. May there be a tailwind all the way round the circular route, and you dont get any visits from the P******* fairy.

And I hope you had as much fun as my other half!!!!
