The Lemming run is invite only
The Lemming run is one of the least prestigious rally events in the country.

Consequently invite whoever you want.

A BYO rally Ocean Beach Wairarapa

Lemming site click here (http://www.lemming.wellington.net.nz/)

BYO everything, really.

More instructions:

if coming from Wellington (make sure you gas up)
Over the Rima's turn right at the base of the hill before you get into Featherston township. stay on this road all the way down to Ocean Beach, don't turn off to Lake Ferry (unless you want a beer) Stay on this main road,
The road does change to gravel (keep going as you have approx another 20km to go) & there are a couple a creek crossings to challange you in the last km before the rally site.

My invite arrived yesterday. However, since it involves a tent, I'll pass.

Um... Mr F5.. Could a std road bike get to the rally? (seriously - I don't mean one that is carried through rivers either)

Well the old site there was a granny's route & the adventure route. Holly & her, um, friend (2 diminutive stature wimin') got a GSX750 & an FJ1200 in while I brought the mighty FA50. Jeff turned up one year over the adventure route (hill climb & sand crossing) on a GPZ600 at night. But he is an animal.

The new site has a couple of stream crossings that would not scare anyone much, but I'd take the lower fairings off the RF to do it. They got the party bus in.

Will be going over not sure which bike yet, will depend if I can talk Viv into staying the night if yes then it will be KLR's if no then may take mighty CT110.
SKUNK & Skunk control were taliking about going over just for the ride.

Paul you would get a road bike in easy, so long as you dont mind about 20km's of gravel, as F5 said a couple drove their old Bedford Bus in last year.

Not much to do but :cold: :scooter: :drinkup: :drinkup: :drinkup: :puke:

I'm very uneasy about riding the Guzzi in slow shingle due to the rear sets and C/R box with it's stupid high gear... It really is a pain in the ass....

What this is telling me is to get the damn Trumpet going because it would do it easy peasey..... Right! Motivation time...

Cheers for this. This sounds like a lotta FUN!

SKUNK & Skunk control were talking about going over just for the ride.Hmmm, that's an idea - if I can get the other AX100 going... :weird:

Yeah I put an airfilter on the Bucket BungBung bought & took that to the old site, that was um, interesting down the rock steps. This site really has pretty easy gravel.

Maybe Pickle can 'borrow' one of Speedpro's (if he's down in time) and have dirt bucket races... :rofl:

Skunk

Havent we seen already?Nah... by the second corner I can't see how far away he is. Least here I can count how many times he passes me. :whistle:

Pickle

Hey Sparky maybe you could get that shiny new CT110 out of the shop for a demo ride & then Skunk you could talk to Loopy & Glen about there CT and we could have CT races :weird: :rofl:

Skunk is a top bloke and made me a great offer but...

I'm not onto it early enough - my life is a bit complicated!

Thanks Andrew...

AAAAHHHHH GRAVEL! :devil2:

Bump

For those who have not gone to the new site:

You will go down a hill after the gravel which is paved. At the bottom the road sort of seems to stop, I mean you can’t surely cross that stream & drive on the left to the beach? :weird:

Yep. Stream is shallow, sand is firm. :yes:

Anyone else thinking of attending & needs some convincing?

Bring some food, there will always be Barbie space. :drinkup:
