Chch to the Magpie

**KZT** · 9th November 2009, 21:04

Going Friday (from Fairlie) but will try to catch up with you lot in Geraldine for lunch.
There's a good bit of road from Geraldine thru Raincliff to Pleasant Point/Winchester if you want to do a detour, takes about an extra 30 mins.

Which road(s)? There are several that go through there, I remember them being good but it was a long time ago and in a car not on a bike.

Have a look on google maps, it turns up if you search for raincliff, new zealand.

I'm aiming to be there but won't be away until after lunch on sat, anyway I'll be on the Yamaha so I'd only hold you up

Might take the scenic route home on sunday instead.

I was very nearly tempted to run straight pipes on it, surely it cant be that loud. If I had to do it again I would start from scratch, would have been much simpler.

no mate, I know BB was pissed but its to far for the Buell rider to go two up, and I dont mean with Toren.
We missed out going to the Nelson rally so Im headed to the Magpie, besides the Buell club still owe me a badge from the last one I went to.

Heading from Geraldine to Fairlie, about halfway, just over ther Timaru district/Mackenzie district border, there's a bridge on a bend over the river. about a km after that you hang a left and follow the road thru Raincliff to Pleasant Point, then out the back road thru Waitohi to Temuka, Winchester is only a few kms up the road from there.
Yeah maybe a little longer than 30mins, poss uup to 45 mins from Geraldine!
Nice little ride thru some quiet back roads, with a bit of everything.
