It looks like there are two (KB) adv groups heading down from Canterbury tomorrow. MickyBoy's lot will be very much in attack mode & if you have seen these guys go then you will know what I mean - amazing riders.
Meanwhile our more sedate group (a couple of 990's, Aslan & a certain unfit grey beard) will zig zag our way down through Sth Canterbury & the McKenzie country, so as to give Pooey a good look around, then staying in Kurow Pub tomorrow night (they let us park the bikes in the Lounge Bar).
Saturday we hit the Maniototo via Danseys & will ride as much of the Dunstan Trail as we can, then the Rally Sat night. Sunday there is option of hooking up with MickyBoy & do some real adv riding, ending up anywhere.
All very weather dependant but at least the snow warning has been lifted from 500m to 700m, even though we hope to be riding well above that a lot of the time.
Any latecomers are welcome.
