Will probably get an earlier crossing and head straight up.

No worries. Might even fit in a chilled out Friday evening ride up Tukino Rd...

I hope there are helmet cams and handhelds being taken so I can see all the fun I missed out on afterwards.

Can be arranged.... Of course. It is obligatory!

I realise that this will be considered cheating, but i'm going to stick the bike in the back of the van for the trip up from Wellington, I have no set time for leaving so if anyone wants to chuck any extra gear in please let me know.
Consider it a tour support vehicle.

OK, good news & bad news.

Bad news is that I can't get us bagged lunches for Fri & Sat so looks like it will be Subway... Breakkie and dinner still in the mess if we want it.

Good news is the accommodation is free. Disclaimer: I haven't seen the barracks we're staying in - unsure if single rooms or dorm style but us beggars can't be choosers aye!

Friday nighters:

Buggs
Underground
Gav
NightFalcon
Fiddy

Anyone else for Fri night accommodation & dinner?

**Night Falcon** · 24th November 2011, 17:07

yum I love subway, the meatballs foot long is to die for

What time are the friday nighters arrivin? is the early bird friday night ride still a goer?

I'll be there for much of the afternoon working so maybe the idea is to meet up say 4.30pm at the main gate, get accommodation sorted, quick feed at 5.30 then bugger off up the road to Tukino Skifield Rd for a sundowner ride say around 6pm?

sounds great

Sounds cool.
I have some cool pics somewhere of my old, very old, hi-ace van, fully loaded with a boat on the roof almost at the top of the first serious hill, a good way after the 4x4 only sign on the ski field road a few years ago. She nearly made it up, poor old thing, was only the ground clearance that stopped us

If I can find em I'll post em up...

Hope the weathers good for the views - sorry, just jinxed it!
