Oh yeah!

Tents rock!

**Pumba** · 21st January 2011, 07:34

Looks like I need to go buy a (new) tent

**Henk** · 21st January 2011, 10:49

I've got some replacement pole bits in the garage somewhere, otherwise you can borrow the plug spanner for the van again.

Our bloody tent poles got broken in the wind of Taupo!

Lucky we're bucket racers which means that we have an endless supply of duct tape!

He he he

At the rate I'm progressing with my project I might even get there.. If I can bludge some transport this is..

Touch wood

Other half has asked if I will pop up for the Tokoroa weekend with him.

What I need to know is:
How much is entry etc? Can we camp at the track? Are there actual toilets anywhere?

Anything else you can tell of interest that might seal the deal?

**Dutchee** · 25th March 2011, 17:16

Okay, absolutely no idea about amenities, but all the tracks I've been to so far have had toilets. No idea where the heck this Toke track even is, but hopefully we'll find it this time (and that's what the stupid slapper GPS is for, I failed miserably at navigation so got fired - yeehah).

Now, as to sealing the deal for you coming up. You can watch and wonder how anyone could possibly be as slow as me, see some close racing at different stages of the racing, watch people fall off, and possibly even participate in the skate challenge at night. Oh, I've bought port, so port on the corner's on. You can even take my bike out at some stage for a wobble (Will does have first dibs on riding my bike whenever I'm not, but I'm sure we can sort something out, if you haven't tried and aren't totally anti).

There is a proper campground somewhere nearby, but after staying there about 6 years ago, it's not one I'd recommend - they do a B&B as well as the campground, sorry, I ain't going there for the breakfast ewwww

Now, are you coming? We need more Wellingtonians (can't believe I'm saying that). We also definitely need more than 2 HB riders (that's even scarier) or it'll end up being an away Auckland round (so long as most of who have said are coming, actually turn up this time - slackers).
