Because of heaps of interest, we'll stay in Napier at the Westshore. They have plenty of cabins available (food and a pub across the road).

Westshore Holiday Park Napier (0800 937 874 or 06 835 9456)

Hard barstards are welcome to go through to the hot springs and camp, but add an extra hour to the Saturday ride.

Do you mean Phuket? I didn't think that was a place to take the missus. That's a bit like taking the bank manager to Los Vegas....

I haven't sorted the route exactly yet. Some may be over private property. Feel free to check out the Makairo for us though. Take a pruning saw and a shovel just in case.

Hi Bart keen to stay at the hot springs camping as Napier is just down the road from home and the ride to the hot springs is cool, subject to time of finishing the 1st day, weather, time of start day 2 and if any other hard nuts willing ? Chris, Rosie & Clint promise to bring some food this time rather than stupidly relying on my poor fishing skills.

Westshore Holiday Park looks just right for me. Can camp if I have to, but the less shit I have to bring the better.

Looking forward to it.

I'll talk to Clint, but I imagine we'll be sociable and stay in Napier
However, I do have the beginnings of a plan for a ride to Mangatutu hot springs in April - maybe the weekend after easter.

[Woodman]

Hmmmm, may work on this one myself as i haven't been up to see the folks in Taradale for a couple of years so could work in quite well..

Will keep you in the loop.

Do we need knobblys? am over knobblys

Be nice to have a few mainlanders along.

We have been known to run a 'bald tyre challenge'. Traction shouldn't be too much of a problem. The Makairo can be interesting in the wet, but it's rock base, so not too bad.

[Hillbilly110]

Me n' Rangi might be in....tussock buster is a draw as well so will decide soon.

[Hillbilly110]

Yep same problem for me. Tussock Buster is sooooo good that it is a must do ride, but i really wanted to do this ride also.

Will make the decision which way to go in a few weeks

Hey Mark, Have you got any bikes that'll go long enough to do either?

[gloves]

Awesome. At this rate I won't have to organise anything.
