Well I've decided I'm camping again this weekend, going to go Friday up thru the Molesworth, Taylors Pass to Blenheim, across and around to do the Braeburn, Maruia Saddle to Murchison and probably home via Lewis or Buller/Arthurs.
Back in ChCh for Saturday night and do nothing at all on Sunday.
Likely camp at one of the lake campgrounds or find a hidey hole somewhere after Blenheim/St Anaud.
Might add the Porika but going to use the Transalp so probably just take the easy tracks mentioned above.
Happy to have company, happy to go solo... what ever, just thought I'd mention it.

Pete
90% of all Harleys built are still on the road... The other 10% made it back home...
Ducati... Makeing riders into mechaincs since 1964...
What way does the long drop rally work. Is it timed stages over a few days? I'm new to NZ so don't really no the score. I've been looking on the Internet for info on it but yet to come across anything.
Bunch of people go camping, live bands and a few silly games at the camp site to amuse... that's all a bike rally is, big social camp that is really small compared to overseas gatherings.
Can understand the confusion though as a proper racing rally is still spelt the same.

O right. I was far out then lol. Do they have competition rally's in NZ. Back in ireland and the uk they have bike rally championships that are good. Timed stages over 2 days for each round.
Bit of this kind of stuff for bikes...www.bikesportnz.com/2013/09/bust-a-nut-3/
