This is the problem, at least four groups and one page. We are far too fragmented.

I see plenty of talk of bikeoi to parliament etc but for those of us in the big smoke is there any sort of protest action in the works? I searched... found nil.

I'm for riding from Auckland to Wellington*

*pending fine weather forecast

Failing that I look forward to Wed's outcome and will join any Auckland ride.

I would also like to do the Auckland to Wellington ride but I haven't ridden that far ever before and I've only had my Triumph a few weeks so I wouldn't do it on my own.

Im hoping some of the experienced riders from Auckland organise a group ride down.

Dont stress, there will be plenty of people to keep you company :yes: It is a big, challenging ride for a lot of people that is a given. The best thing
though is there are a lot of riders that are more than happy to watch over and look after the ones that are going to find this trip a challenge. I am busy as a bee organising acommodation along the way so the trip can be split for those that cant to it in one hit :D

There is something in the making for an 'Auckland Protest Ride' (not to Wellington I cant make it) but not ready to post it just yet, maybe later in the week, will be going over some details tomorrow. It will be a local event possibly prior to the Wellington BIKEOI, pending a phonecall tomorrow, the date and thread could be up by Thursday.

I'm reading some hesitation here from riders who haven't done a long distant ride.

Hamilton (or at least me in Hamilton :) ) will be doing the run to Wellington.

If there isn't an organised group from Auckland you're more than welcome to join in with me/us (only a few have actually said yes .. let's do wellington .. but I'm in there like swimwear !!! )

There will definitely be local Auckland rides.
And there will definitely be an Auckland to Wellington ride.
And there will be plenty of people for whom the ride will be a challenge, and plenty of others who will take you under their wing and make sure you get there in one piece. :hug:

Thats probably a very good idea.
When we did the Westpac Ride last year, I pm'd everyone who I thought would do a great job with such a task, all but one took up the offer, reasonable strike rate really.

I will be doing the Auckland-Wellington ride, happy to either haul all the way down in one day or make it a two dayer depending on what the group (assuming we have a group) prefers

Hey everyone,
Judging from the responses the ride will be November, meeting in Wellington on the 15th? and a protest at parliment on the 17th? Please correct me if i am wrong on this?
I have set up a facebook event, so feel free to add yourself to this, and forward the info on to anyone else ya think will be in.

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=162482016422#/event.php?eid=162482016422&index=1

This is set to open, so invite everyone who wants to go, and we can arrange meeting points around the north island to collect extras as we go down.
:2thumbsup

Plenty of advice will be forthcoming too about how to prevent getting fatigued/dehydrated too :yes: Important thing for you to know though is what is your distance travelled between refuelling stops. My bike for example does less than 200 k's between fuel stops, so I have to plan those too.

I have dibbs on 170 reasonably priced beds in Turangi for a mid point stop. Details on costings soon.

Yes mine is about 220-240k's before I hit reserve so 200k's sounds like a safe stop distance.

And thank you so much for doing all this, you an Angel :innocent:
