according to google, its 194k from wanganui to welly and 93.5k from levin to welly.

edit: i got blisters due to the shoes i was wearing. already had blisters, but got rid of them. the shoes made them come back. couldnt wear my other pair cos they dont fit under the gear shift properly.

Why is there an option for 1000 km if the vote is not to include the return trip?

About 12 k's and my calf muscels feel like I walked to Auckland.

Well one legend rode from Stewart Island!

Now, after all is said and done, people won't think its crazy to ride long distances now!

I had two KBers actually ask to accompany me on my midnight ride down on Monday night!

Everything is relative now!

So get out there and keep riding people! The more the merrier and the safer the better! (25 times betterer even!)

by directing bikes on the hard top and wandering around give me extra kilometer credits

Bluff, Cape Rianga are ~1050 or just a perversion that makes you take the long way for the sheer fun of the ride.

Had I the time up my sleeve and petrol monies I may just have made a full weekend of it. But alas I have already spent my "fun" bike tokens on the Rusty Nuts GC this year.
