Not a bad idea - there's a website called Book A Bach -http://www.bookabach.co.nz/

There's even a couple in Plimmerton.

Like your way of thinking. Might try to secure one this week.

Finally booked Ferry sailings, borrowed some $$$ to do it. Entry fee is next on the list then pay back the money borrowed for the ferry, oh crap I still need a new rear knobbly too.

Anyways J and I are crossing Picton to Wellington on Interislander Kaitaki Friday departing Picton at 1:10pm, arrive Wellington at 4:20pm. Couldn't go earlier because of other commitments on Thursday evening so we'll leave ChCh Friday morning, ride up and cross the straight in time for the Briefing/roll chart pasting thing.
Obviously I'm not going to be there in time for any extra touring this trip.
J is going to go visit Te Papa again while I'm off doing the ride.
Returning Sunday, departing Wellington on the same boat 8:25am and home in time for tea that night if all goes well.

If anyone is keen, a night in the Orange Hotel in the Akatarawa's could be arranged. A good opportunity to pre-dirty your bikes before the big ride. Nice budget accomodation, just need sleeping bag (and for those that need it, a pillow) and some food and drink.

Sounds like a plan to me, a definate starter for that one.

Sunday is a better day for a ride rather than Friday, just in case anything happened.
Wouldnt want to miss the CCA due to accident or breakdown.

Enter your attendance.
Go!

You can chew the cat and register you attendance till it hurts - but what would be most helpful to the CCA organisers is you sending off your CCA entry form!!!

Dollars are tight, and I need a chainsaw.

Unfortunately, me too....sorry John but the budget is a bit tight this year so I'm staying on rides closer to home.
