Taumarunui. North Island R1 and Pacific Series R2 (6 and 7 March)

...... and a shitty food bar in tauamranui

Looking for food, go to the "copper kettle" best food in town.
stay clear of the main pubs; are known to be rough even for harden bikers.... RSA has some great food and cheap beer.

plently of spots for your latte's but maybe not up to your viaduct expectations Dutchee.

Well this is Ellen here from Shelracing here in Taumarunui. I'm working part-time at the 'Food Emporium" at the northern end of town, next to the Caltex.
Anyone from Buckets comes in on Sat or Sunday morning (we open at 8am) will get a free cup of coffee with any breakfast ordered, (this is a special deal for bucketeers and families only )and i will even cook your bacon and eggs too.
Our prices are very reasonable compared to the Copper Kettle. Pam, the boss has said she will even deliver breakfasts/lunches/dinners to the track if there are 5 or more orders.
We do takeaways, kebabs, curries (oops better not in a tent) and steak meals etc etc etc.
Just look for the 'ROSSI' poster in the window if you coming into town.
I will be at the track to help on the weekend, I think Steve is racing.

[Bert]

Now thats sounds like a great deal for the bucketers. good on ya.

[Trudes]

Thanks Ellen, we will have to make a point to pop in and grab a bite to eat, good to know where the best place to eat in town is....... now, where's the best place to stay (hubby likes a bed, so we're talking Motel here)?? Cheers!

[SHELRACING]

hey trudes

If you want something cheap, then try the Hilton, just opposite New World on the main road, heading north. It aint flash, but it has got beds.
There are plenty of Motels here just on the side roads behind the shops, I dont think they will be booked out.

I had one of the pancakes today for breaky, they are homemade and with banana, bacon and maple syrup, absolutley devine. But you better come with a good appetite cause you get HEAPS!!!!!

[Pumba]

I can recomend the Hilton for accomadation. I stayed there a year a two ago, basic accomadation but was clean and comfortable, supermarket across the road, what more do you need.
