Hey this meet is a great venue. The track is a hoot & over two days you can get dizzy with riding but learn a bunch.

camp at track or in cheapo hotel in town.

who's going & from where?

**Str8 Jacket** · 19th December 2011, 11:37

We are!!!!!

**yungatart** · 19th December 2011, 11:41

We might, just for a nosy.

**Kendog** · 19th December 2011, 11:58

Maybeeeeee

Awesome. Have to do it, great for practice + Trud needs to get some saddle time after hitting the books for so long.

PS I found an old reed that should work in her bike & perk it up somewhat. Brought it up on sun but you weren't there.

Cool, thanks.
We haven't had a weekend of doing nothing in ages, plus we won't be getting one over Xmas/new years so decide last weekend was good for doing 'nothing much'

We are going !! Yes I know we are not from Welly but its a great place as Dave said and camping should be fun and if the weather is good we will be in the river ..

And if the riders are bad they'll end up in the river....

It's going to be the first time out on a track since July! Speaking of that, here's hoping that there's no lips on the outside of the track this time. I also promise not to take out any Wgtn riders this time......

Maybe I should just bring my knitting!

If I say I'm from Wellington will you try and avoid crashing into me as well? Or is it a north vs south contact sport weekend?

Considering that i'll probably start in 'C' grade and if I manage to find even a tiny bit of mojo again maybe 'B'.....

I kinda started thinking I might share some expenses on the trip up, but I'm not sure of my timetable, just that I've been given the green light. Great to see some Auckers are going too. Means some good racing.

where's Cotswolds bike at, is it nearly finished? when can we expect to see it on the track? Are you going to start a thread with some build info?

I'm not from Wellington either but the family and I will be at Taumaranui, if we can find it that is, Im not sure they make road maps for south of the Bombays? Promised the kids I'd take them camping and swimming in the holidays, add some bucket racing and a little trail riding, sounds like the near perfect weekend!
