deanbean Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 60 to 80 rondts for a ride, bit of a rip off I'd say, unless you need the medal or t-shirt. We'll be riding that ride too, but no charge except money for the pont, and for beer at Seagulls, and the Fisherman's Den after  I think the MB hotel is starting to rip the ring out a bit, unless they are adding value to the ride.
deanbean Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 Ping Wil6, are you going to be in Kei this year
