1 question what area is considered as "Waikato" for the purposes of this game?


I was wandering when this Q's was coming,

Yeah it was about a 3hr round trip I think, (I wish my bike had a clock on it). That was the longest ride I have had on my bike so far, believe it or not.

YOU DA MAN!!! AWESOME EFFORT
As for the clock issue.. buy a cheap wrist watch ( something that can take a hit or two ) strap it to your handle bar somewhere nice & tight

Well we are in the Waikato phone book, my number starts with 07, and we come under environment waikato. Yes Waihi is definitely in the Waikato.

And so is the COROMANDEL PENINSULA

I guess it depends on what you use as a guide for boundary purposes... I utilise www.ew.govt.nz & use this as reference to regional boundaries & YES WAIHI IS IN THERE... just

[sil3nt]

Just a rough idea of boundaries maybe?
Really so long as there is someone who can get the tag there shouldn't be a problem but if you put something on the tip of the Coromandel Peninsula and no one wants to go there it becomes a bit pointless.

Now thats a bloody good idea. I bought a Oxford clock and then returned it cos it was crap. Said you could use the buttons with gloves NOT
Said there was a backlight - there was but if you pushed the button long enough to activate the light, the time was reset to 00:00 and the date to Jan 05, temp gauge was handy though.

But I will look at the watch idea... not that the sv has an awful lot in the way of handlebars to attach a watch to!!

I'm a bit worried by the blue bit out west of Raglan...dunno how well my bike would go out there...

Funny how useful a clock is on a bike. When I bought the SVS I saw the clock and thought "what a waste of space that's gonna be!" But I use it all the time as it turns out. Means I can leave the watch off the wrist and be a little more comfortable with the jacket sleeve zipped up. Plus ya get to see how short a time it takes you to get from Raglan to Whatawhata...not that I'd ever do that of course you unnerstand...(best is 18 minutes so far).......

And, ya know, it was a bit "pot" calling the "kettle" suggesting I don't ride my motasickle

Ah yes, touche.

Well I think Waikato is the Waikato Basin. Waihi is pushing it a bit.. All cred to Jenral for doing a 3 hour adventure...
I guess the decider will be if there is any takers for it

Na Waihi's not pushing it - although I would say it may be pushing it in winter. In summer it's a totally different story I'm keen but I need to find the time...

Both you fella's have hit the nail on the head. If the tag sits for too long...re-tag by last person again. This weekend might be a go for this one though.

Bloody big boundaries going right to BOP (especially out onto the water ) and right up to Pukky. In saying that, we have managed to go up there already without too much probs.

I say let it run and see what happens. Remember the whole idea of it is about the ride not the actual tag.

Here is a map, the Waikato region is a big area.

Haha, yeah Waihi Beach is in the Western Bay of Plenty

I brought mine from the warehouse for @ $10 ... when I do the Grand challenge I strap mine to the top of the fork brace & use it as my timer, between that & the clock on the bike I can keep a good eye on my pace

[Highlander]

I had a Warehouse watch that I cable tied to my handle bar - perfect until it gets dark, but by then the time of day (night?) is well down my priority list.


The new bike has a clock in the dash.

Try the $2 shop, they do a digital one and for $2 bucks - you can't go wrong.

Yeah, Unfortunately with the GC you ride through the night / early morning so a light on said watch is a must..mine has a big button on the face that is easily activated with gloves on & lights up well whilst on the move

[insomnia01]

I got one. I was so worried someone would put up a new tag while I was on my way home.

Dargor had a tag up awhile ago that I nailed,but had issues with me computer at home So I thought F%$#K it I'll e-mail it to work & sort it out in the morning.. get to work start downloading etc,etc just about to upload, check thread SHIT!!! Spazam beat me to it thats the risk using dial up I spose

And here is the next tag.
Clue: Come to the town with the heart of gold, and enjoy the gorge on the way.

HHHMMMMmmm... interesting shot Jenral
