Mystery Rally

[M1CRO]

I was thinking and riding today :eek5: (on SH22 none the less) about having a KB mystery rally. I remember a few I went on "years" ago and thought a KB one would be awesome. By "mystery" I mean where there are checkpoints, answer questions/do tasks, riddles and then some random hint as to where to go to next. Looking at the calendar, Sun 04/12 might be a good date? I dont mind doing most of the stuff, but will need a few keen helpers.. Anyone have any idea's - good, bad or .... :stupid:

Never been on SH22 yet, and not in a rush to break myself in by "rallying" around. Although it is a pretty cool idea. Will the clues be in glove friendly envelops?

i like those rides where the peeps just turn off any old side road, and every body else spends the rest of the day lookin for them :whistle:

The word "rally" may have been a bit misleading :slap:
I dont expect it to be a hard-out "race", but completion times will be tracked and will have a bearing on the overall "winner". Am thinking that "teams" can also enter... :niceone:

If you're interested in a 5 day "mystery" rally, check this out: http://www.rustynuts.co.nz/default.aspx?PageID=8. The RNMC always organise demanding rides which are huge fun, and the TIKI ride looks a good 'un.

Could you also ensure that your name is down in the calendar so I know how many documents etc I need to bring on the day (in glove-friendly envelopes of course - Not!) .. Ty!

C'mon dude, do you want me to tell you the whole route (or maybe you just want to follow my ass again :yes:

Suffice to say, you dont have to be in a team, but as the old saying goes "more heads are better than one" - or maybe I just made that up? :)

Anyway, there will be a cross section of riding, some urban, some rural. Some north, some south, some east, some west.. Now does that answer your question? lol
