    Blah In like Flynn

    I will definately be making the trip down for this next year whenever or wherever it is held.

    So north islanders start planning, im thinking of at least a 7 day round trip.
    Want to ride as many of the good roads / tracks in the south on the way there and home as i can.
    Here for a good time, not necessarily a long time

    Car is way cheaper to run, and its warm and dry and I can drink my morning coffee.

    On topic, this year I,m gonna have a damn good look around and stop and check shit out instead of wizzing by. And avoid puddles.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    You're coming this time if we have to drag your sorry arse down on a KLR. That way you'll see lots of stoopid shit

    I've started discussions with my team mates to make sure I can get that time off. Last year was awesome.

    Well that's it then. It suits K to have a southern run on the 21/22nd

    I'm still very distracted by work and life at the moment so haven't spent time working on this. Keep the comments coming though fellas. I am keeping an eye on this thread.

    Those dates suit me fine but it doesn’t really matter because I am going regardless of the dates it falls on, too much of a great trip to miss. As to where the route is, well I really enjoyed 2011 down south, stunning stunning country, but always keen to explore new places anywhere in NZ. My only suggestion is to have more (optional) challenge sections thrown in, maybe even the possibility of different levels of challenges with some highly technical sections for the more ambitious riders.

    Aside from the number of really good riders that will be attending you just know _shrek_ won't turn down a challenge, lets give him something really gritty to tackle on his GS
