Couldn't tell you the exact k's,but it would have to be 400kms one way give or take....

That's including a detour to palmy to stay the night,and leave my pack there.

I'll do it again in a heartbeat if i am needed.

[fizbin]

I only came back from christchurch,

Caught the interislander last night at 8, ferry was rather late leaving though, was raining when we got into Picton, that was ok, but it seems the waterprooof membrane in my jacket isn't as waterproof as I thought it was as my arms were getting wet.

Got into Kaikoura, pulled into the truck stop and my engine started to sound like it was eating itself, luckily there was a cafe with bright lights outside it close by, so that was excellent place to work on it, as it was bright and sheltered. Turns out the flywheel came loose. That was alright as I was carrying tools and it didn't damage my brand new stator, just rubbed against the outer casing a little. Tightened it up using a belt with a spanner and a strap to stop it turning, and the rear brake, although the clutch was slipping a little unfortunately. After stuffing around with that didn't end up getting home until 5.30. Was supposed to be up to go to work at 6 but I elected to not go in and take some leave.

Was very cold after Kaikoura, had to stop and change my gloves again and put on a thermal in Amberly as I was getting very cold and tired.

Why is there an option for 1000 km if the vote is not to include the return trip?

Incase you went from Bluff to Wellington Via Auckland?

[Reido]

[gijoe1313]

Well one legend rode from Stewart Island! :clap: Now, after all is said and done, people won't think its crazy to ride long distances now! :lol: I had two KBers actually ask to accompany me on my midnight ride down on Monday night! :rofl:

Everything is relative now! :yes: So get out there and keep riding people! The more the merrier and the safer the better! (25 times betterer even!)

[rustic101]

by directing bikes on the hard top and wandering around give me extra kilometer credits :confused: lol

Bluff, Cape Rianga are ~1050 or just a perversion that makes you take the long way for the sheer fun of the ride.

Had I the time up my sleeve and petrol monies I may just have made a full weekend of it. But alas I have already spent my "fun" bike tokens on the Rusty Nuts GC this year.

[davebullet]

About 50ks (out to Duck pond and back) then listened to a shit load (or is that a load of shit?) of National MPs.

[Taz]

1946kms from home to home. Great trip. Some cool sealed backroads and muddy gravel goat tracks included. a very different route down to the trip back. Got home at 5:05 today. want to do it again tomorrow but have to go to work. :(

[XP@]

Based on your responses (you were all truthful aye ;-) the average distance travelled to the event was 280km. (using the lower distance of the range in each case with the exception of the 0 to 50km range where I used 10km).

Given there were 5000 bikes at the event this is 1.65 MILLION Km travelled to Wellington without an incident!

[yachtie10]

North shore to Wellington via Napier and a bit of round wellington area and up to Porirua before the stadium works out just over 800 KM down
but went a quicker way home

was a great trip (except for Taupo home where it rained all the way)
