Chew the fat about traveling to, staying, and traveling home here.
Herding cats would be easier, but give it a go anyway.

I'll kick it off.
I'm planning on a Fri morning exit out of the Tron taking in a few free flowing bits of gravel down.
I'm interested in sharing a room with the Brazilian female volley ball team.

**Crisis management** · 16th February 2010, 19:56

Female with a brazilian or brazillian female? Maybe it doesn't matter......

Me....I'm still trying to scrape up enough cash to actually attend which is a bit frightening but it will be a friday trip down, gravel & the 42nd I expect, I'm hoping to try Whanganui valley this time but it's a bit of a diversion.
There is also the possibility that I could trailer down (shocking I know) if others want to join in...and I might be camping..I'm serious about the budget bit, I added up tyres, fuel, food & accommodation and get to near $800.
Weather dependant, home via the Wairarapa on sunday, I wouldn't mind going up the Gentle Annie and back but it all depends on state of body & weather.

Brazillians..not me I just need a decent nights sleep!

If you're referring to the Wanganui river road it's a good ride and worth it.

Is everyone camping at the school Saturday night or planning on staying in hotels/motels?

**tri boy** · 16th February 2010, 20:18

If at all possible, I'd like room/cabin.
Last year Struan kindly offered a bed in the motel room they had booked.
Bliss to fall into after Fri night route sheet "drinkies", and then a nice pillow to massage the rapidly developing hang over from the Sat night gig.
Fook i'm getting old.
6 bed room could be worth a look.
Bulk farting though

Actually, the tent sounds pretty good.

No the Whangaehu Valley is what I meant, parallels the Turkino valley south from Ohakune, I've never ridden it so thought it was worth a shot.

Yep, that one is good also.

I will be there, most likely trailer the bike down on friday Arvo.

But would be quite keen to do a ride somewhere on the sunday as well. Should make the most of travelling all that way and have more than 1 days riding.

Maybe Eddie or Marks could be our tour guide for the sunday ????????

**Taz** · 20th February 2010, 06:36

I have heard that all those brazilians are bald kuntz..........

Could do but ive been there / not done that, or ...... something a bit closer like odlins rd perhaps

The publisher is renting a bach (crib?) up the coast from Plimmerton about 20km.
Not a bad idea - there's a website called Book A Bach -http://www.bookabach.co.nz/

There's even a couple in Plimmerton.

Well i PLAN to leave aucks Friday, Ride the thing with 2 wheels to Rotorua (trailer free zone), Pick up the brother - He can ride his hopefully together bike by this stage. Hopefully by this time the woman who has never been adventure riding wont have killed me - or me thrown her off the back for kidney punching me due to ride style.....
Hopefully by Taupo - brother will still have knobs on his back tyre and that i wont have been getting hit with rubber bullets all the way....

Any ya never know, we might meet some fellow bike riders along the way! following someone that thinks or hopefully knows an interesting route to the venue!

Accommodation will be provided by a number of 5 star hotel rooms, othewise known as... TENTS!

This is a depression after all, and i am unemployed!

Will be a great weekend!

Anyone got any jobs??????

i would recommend a loop around north range road, past the mighty windmills.. its on the way down and you wouldn't need to back track at all..
