nothing booked at this stage,so its sounding good to me so far

I am semi keen depending on dates.

But I have 2 options with the knobblies.
Either leave them in the garage or
Slowly disperse them all over the tarmac on the southern motorway.

Provided we dont have two weeks of rain prior any half good knobbly will do. The mud is not really that bad but its a bit more than dual sports will deal with.

As I pointed out I have taken the Beemer through these tracks and if she can do it you can too nic. See ya in May

A good (read that, near new )TKC80 or better will be ok. If its dry damn near anything will do. Full MX knobbies not essential.

Cool! I'll be going, although I'm not keen on mud myself and I'm only on the back lol!! Will be good to have another female onboard.

**Steelie** · 27th March 2011, 17:17

Mud? Phil said I am not allowed to mention mud again Joe

The ride will be starting Wanganui - ish (note older style uncultural spelling

) and ending Eltham - ish.

It is going to be a mix of Gravel, farm tracks, and clay surface paper roads. With a little bit of Tarseal thrown in just for fun. If the weather is dry the whole ride could be done on dual sports, as the clay rds are not big up and down hill type roads.
Clay being clay it gets slippery when wet

So knobblies are a must.
Its not going to be as bad as Fishers

There is a lot of awesome country side to see and a bit of history as well.

As I have pointed out I have done the ride on the Beemer. If her and I can do it, anyone can

Now that the Pukemanu is out the way Phil and I can get on with the plans and we may even post a few more tempting photos
