Just occurred to me try and ride from Wanganui to Invercargill tomorrow.
It will meaning getting on the road around 5am with next to no preparation, and hitting the road with next to no money.
Don't have money for accommodation so I'd have to keep on the road until I found my fathers house in Invercargill. Then I figure I can spend a day or two exploring the area and then ride back to Wanganui.
Cunning plan or just a shit idea?
Probably make the call at 5am.

Its a bad plan
1. You've got no dosh
2. You wanna ride a long way to get a sore arse on a fork
3. You will hurt yourself, as you gonna hit the road LOL

Two day ride at most, yes? So only one night sleeping in the ditch. You'd be sweet. I'd do it. But I'd probably sleep indoors somewhere...even if it was in a barnOriginally Posted by Headbanger

According to maps.google.co.nz it takes about 20 hours by car (probably legal speeds and including ferry) and a total of 1191km.
Just search "Wanganui to Invercargill" and have a look for yourself.

If I left Wanganui at 5am, Id be leaving Picton at around lunchtime,Then its 915km to Invercargill. AA travel calculator states 13 hours.
hmmm....I'm a soft bastard, 5 hours is about my dash for a casual ride.

Sometimes no plan is the best plan of all, get a few zzz's on the ferry and a few rest stops on the way, sounds like a challenge....
We did Invercargill to Pukerua Bay in one go a while back, so Wanganui's only what, a couple of hours more.....
Go on Doug...you can do it, get a perm before you go though...
