So who else is side lined from the 2011 Southern Cross and thinking about the Tiki Tour this time next year then????
Yes I'm thinking I will probably be a starter, so long as it doesn't clash with doing the TT2000 as well. Any word on dates, starting location yet?
Tiki Tour details on this page: http://rustynuts.org.nz/default.aspx?PageID=4 Start Russell 4 March, Finish Bluff 10 March (2012 naturally). I'm with DRL, here's hoping the TT is on the following weekend after 10 March, or something like that. Otherwise I have to choose, and I have unfinished business with the TT.
He he he.......You gonna buy some matchsticks for the next one Gremlin?
pffft, this time I'll get a separate room for all nights. Oh, and more than 4 hours of sleep on the night before... Probably take it a bit easier before the TT, perhaps a rest day right before, etc. Separate room would avoid all the snoring from a certain gn rider... and do wonders for my reputation of sleeping in the same room as honda riders. 3200km in 40 hours is actually quite doable, pace wise. It's the uh... staying alert that presents a problem. I reckon a 2 hour stop in the middle, around 1-2am would help massively, purely for sleep.
It'll depend on the TT dates for me as well.
Yup 3200 in 40 hrs is doable...... I beleive the TT will be 25/26 Feb...I plan to do both TT and Icon....having missed the SC this year I have a bit of catching up to do.
I haven't seen any confirmation of dates for the TT2000, and the site still shows 2011. Still, if those are the dates, then it works out quite well for doing both... us Norf Islanders will be crossing the strait 4 times
Its not in concrete...but my $ are on the 25th/26th this time I'll get a separate room for all nights. Oh, and more than 4 hours of sleep on the night before... I booked a quiet hotel had an early dinner, one beer and a Norimison tablet....lights out by 8pm. I reckon a 2 hour stop in the middle, around 1-2am would help massively, purely for sleep. I will try that next time....30 minutes in a chair at a road side Cafe at 4.30 am was not enough.
March 25 and 26 2012 as posted on the TT2000 web site
hmmm I'll look in September, when I'm back from the USA... still in the midst of the USA trip, plus blogging etc.

We're not sleeping on the job are we?? It would be nice to do both but the time off will be a problem for me as we have a bit on over that period.
