NO not basketball you fools, the NBA is another

N Naki
B Boys
A Adventure

Phil, Colin (not that we have told him yet) and I thought it was about time we led some of you astray in the Naki again. Following on from the rides in 2008 and 2009 (MAPMEA and TTTTT rides) we again have something special in mind.

Basically we want to go SOMEWHERE and then take you NOWHERE.

WTF?

Basic thoughts at the moment are to stay in Inglewood on Friday night (bring your banjos and 6 finger gloves.) then be away early on Saturday to ride some of the excellent gravel roads the Naki is famous for. They will take us to the Bridge to Somewhere (is it coming clear what we have planned?).

We will then have to find gas and head (via the inland roads around Kai Iwi that Phil assures me are fantastic roads to ride and untouched by Kiwi Bikers) to Wanganui overnight.

Sunday morning will be an early start again and we will head up the River Road to Pipiriki where we will then jet boat to the Bridge to Nowhere (there is a walk to the bridge once off the boat).

Once we are back at Pipiriki it will be home time with lots of different road options for you take.

We would like to do this at the end of September.

Are you interested in this ride, if so please reply to this post.

Once we have an idea of numbers we will do more planning and put a ride post up with details of the costs etc.

Does anyone have contacts in the Pipiriki Jet Boat scene?

Mike and Phil

The short cut in question may not be but I have a couple of others in mind. We will speak later

Sounds great! Any weekend in September suits me at present.

We have looked at all those backroads on the map between Inglewood & Wanganui & thought they looked worthy of exploration, be neat to have a ride in there. I've boated down to the bridge to nowhere from Retaruke but haven't done the stretch up from Pipiriki so that would be cool too.

Sounds good, I'm in. Good on you guys for organising it.

Struan...bike in boat and motor up, into the Wanganui river and you done. Take an umbrella, those big waves at sea might get a bit wettish.

Thanks everyone for the replies, it looks as though a few of you want to do the ride so Phil, Colin and I will get underway with the planning.
