National BIKEOI - FINAL STAGE ACCOMMODATION

[yachtie10]

Hey Guys n Gals

There will be a Pre-BIKOI Rally at the Rimutaka Forest Park, in Wainuiomata. Anyone needing accomodation and wanting to meet up with everyone else feel free to turn up. I will be arranging for a barbecue/food setup so an indication of numbers will be much appreciated before hand so I know how much food to get etc.

Directions from SH1 at Ngauranga

"KB beds on offer"

Can't guarantee the house is not haunted (well - kids are a form of haunting aren't they?)

Mine haunted me this weekend I was not actually home

Booked.

Totally right Mom, Marian is lovely

Costa del MASH (aka Hawkeye's place) can take 2-5.
Location Tawa.
1 bed (possibility of double). Plus couch, and floor space.
I can even supply air beds and sleeping bags if required.

I also have a spare road legal bike that could be used by a suitably qualified rider (Honda CB500S).

Space for one bike in the garage (possibly 2 if I feel generous by moving the CB out. Other bikes can be put around the back of the house out of sight or boxed in by the cages on the drive. (very quiet street) Tarps available for covers.

Beer, BBQ and next to main train line to Welly if you feel like heading to the Welly pubs for the night. Ideal location as both meeting points are within 20 mins ride or 15 mins to Parliament.

For those out of towners that may want to go try out our playground on the Takas while you here, I am always up for a ride and happy to play tour guide.

NB: Dog (Spanial) in the house but she is timid and a total softy so unless you have an allegy she will be no problem.

If anyone is interested in making it a longer week-end and spending some time in the Welly region, your quite welcome to come earlier ie Sat

Roll up, roll up! Just talked to Marian, there are still beds available. Lets try not to turn up unannounced on the day. A bit of warning would be good, I guess the hotel would also like to know how many meals they have to cook, cant expect to get a roast for $10 without letting them know you want it.

I'm not going through Palmy anymore...I'm taking the long (long) way down.
So please ignore my vote.

P.S. Good work on organising all of this Mom!

...and Mom, continue to ignore my PM, now sorted with John in the Golfview.
Thanks for setting it up.

I am not ignoring PM's as much as not having time to deal with them all. I was never going to book your accommodation for you, my credit card does not run to 50% up front charges that I have to chase down for reimbursement.

Yeah, well I hope you guys support the people listed here, they really are in behind our cause.

[kinger]

I obviously phrased that badly.
The thanks are genuine for the work you've done, and the ignore was meant as just that, no need to get back to me in response to my message.
I'll say no more just in case.....

[Smiffy]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but....

I cannot find any details on where people are meeting, what time etc. We plan to get as far south as possible on Monday night, then carry on on Tuesday before coming home. Any details appreciated.

Thanks.

It is not wonderfully clear, but if you open the attachment in a new window you can zoom in a bit, this has all the ride routes, departure times and meeting points on it.
