you could look in the accomodation spreadsheet and stay in welly for (probably nearly or possible totally) for free AND GO TO THE BIKEOI

**KiwiPhoenix** · 14th November 2009, 17:36

Safe ride to you all heading north over the next few days! Have a great time guys! See you when you get back!

**McWild** · 14th November 2009, 20:05

Unfortunately we can't get to the BIKEOI as our schedule just doesn't allow it.

Would be one hell of a day but yeah constraints demand.

Goodbye Tom~

**Emlyn** · 15th November 2009, 09:27

Just a quick update.

Found them all brokendown on the side of the road just south of the Kaikorars. Andrews bike had dropped a chain.
Got Tom the the ferry just 10 min before it sailed. Just north of kaikora it blew 9 kinds of buggery right until wellington where we stopped. Tom did a great job of keeping his bike on the road.
The youngams were taken to Kaikora by the local AA agent and were waiting for a bike shop to open so they could get a new chain. They re-booked on a evening ferry. Dont know at this stage if they made it to the north island yet. Will txt Tom tonight.
Anyhows the Bikeoi is tomorow, will let you know how it goes.
Its the second time I have found Andrew broken down on the side of the road, not much I could do this time without a ute.

Thanks for the update, there seems to be a theme her with broken down bikes, maybe its just my thinking.
