Christchurch to Dusty Butt, Fri 21 January

**mattsdakar** · 14th December 2010, 21:02

Okay Dusty Butt goers,

As per last year I'm again organising a trip down to Fairlie via Orari Gorge station

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

Cheers

Fark.....in the fear of coping grief, I was considering trailering the bike down to the start. After 1000km I dont know if im hard enough to ride home as well

I might have to reconcider now?

Hey Matt I was following you guys down Johns road on Saturday (on my way to Ruapuna for one last blast on the Motard before DB11 conversion take place) the traffic was holding me up to be able to give ya a toot!
