G'day Matt,
Still trying to "swing it" at work but looks like I may have to work that day so won't be leaving till after 2pm (love that glide time) - have a great trip down, don't make Kenny fall off too much and see you in Fairlie for a quiet one or two

Cheers Crim

I'll need to know numbers to advise the two farms

Departure will be from The Caltex servo station Yaldhurst/Russley rd's (near Airport) 9:00am sharp!
Will stop at Ashburton Subway to grab some lunch that we can eat part way thru the Gorge
All welcome, route is big bike friendly (isn't that right Kenny!)
Cheers Matt

Sorry Padmei, I don't do the GPS thing.
We will stop for Subway and fuel if necessary at Ashburton then head to the shingle at Orari Bridge, from there it's no more than 60km's of gravel and farm tracks coming out near Lake Opuha near Fairlie, total distance Ashburton to Fairlie would be around 100km's
Hope this helps
