    TT2000 25-26 Feb 2012

    I see Mike has confirmed the date as Feb 25 and 26, 2012 for the next TT2000.

    www.TT2000.org

    Looks like there will be a few changes for this year with a plan your own route factor built in.

    And there is the promise of more gnarly dirt for those riders who wanted more of the Dorothy falls/Gillespie beach/Waipapa point type rides from last year.

    I am in and have booked my leave....who else?

    I just checked the website... www.tt2000.org ....and see that Mike has updated it with a description of the "two rallys in one concept".... looking good.

    Flyer details to come, but the SI map with flyer locations looks daunting...I think it would be safe to say that all flyers will not be possible this year even with the additional 8 hrs

    I guess we'll have to wait for the flyer points to come out. So far it looks like anywhere in the South Island will do.
    Time to ride

    The choice of either to run the basic 2000km, route or plan your own to aim for any of the 4 levels adds the fun of planning to the the rally....there are near infinite route options to achieve whatever goal you want to achieve...I cant wait to see the individual flyer values....diamond is my aim again this year...

    Thumbs up

    I too like the new concept of the Flyer Route. Mike has done alot of work I hope its a success. Planning your own route is part of the fun. Then go out and ride your plan. It's going to be more of an individual rally as we all head off to all parts of the island.

    eek

    I see LBD has the inside running on this one..... you know what i mean.

    New plan ..... may go for a bronze trophy this year to add to my gold and diamond. sounds easy does it???

    I may be changing bikes this time, i will leave the busa in the shed and bring out the big guns.......

    i will dust off the "turtle" a 40 year old 49cc honda c50 stepthrough.

    I think that will add to the challenge a little, who is with me??? ..................????
    no one???
    Oh well, go the turtle..

    At least you live in the South Island... Mr Toto and I are in Auckland. I have never been passed by so many cars in the passing lane when we travelled north... in my entire life

    He's thinking about the GN again... we'll see... He's probably mad enough
