Diggers Ride

[XF650]

Last time I saw your bike it was having a little rest on the top of the Lamamoors, um wonder what happened there, maybe it was a little bit tired

I reckon that was Nordie's fault....

I thought it was my fault too. But the camera obviously didn't turn on and I've got no footage of riding beside you at all.


Hey GoPro! Where's my bluddy remote!

I thought it was my fault too.

Actually I have to confess that I was already going down before you bumped me (but I didn't want Delis to know that).

Back to topic:
With Eddie confirming Northern Invasion ride for the weekend of the 31st, Diggers Ride will more likely be weekend of the 24th, unless consensus for April?.

I could be a starter if it is in April, that will give me time to build a bike rack for the camper.

Sorry about this but March 24/25th isn't possible for me now either. However this does give me more time to scope the routes.
Any preferences post Easter?

Watching this... money tight... what kind of money in the possible Macraes "Customised" mine tour?
I may have to miss optional extras and the NII2 ride to do this but it does sound nice n cruisey, a relaxing Transalp tour.

I am keeping me eye on this one as well, seeing as how I have to now pull out of the North Island Invasion because of In Laws (sorry Eddie)

[XF650]

Ride will now be after Easter, advantage being this gives me more time to scope the route.
Will post new dates as soon as I can.

Shame that but no worries. I was looking forward to catching up seeing as I missed the DB1K.

Bump.... and Dr Phil was asking when??? as he is interested in joining in for this one.

[Crim]

It is after Easter, I know cos I have now climbed past 0.11 of a tonne

[XF650]

Looking more likely to be the last weekend this month - 28th & 29th April.
How does that suit people?

[Transalper]

Any time, later is better for me financially but either way I just want to be able to put it on my calendar so I can plan around it.

[Crim]

All good with me, Bro is over from Aussie, he'll be back over in a coupla months anywho - and it will save me from a coupla nights of excessive (I think)

[Transalper]

5 days to go and the details are still a bit sketchy...
What do we do about accommodation? Do we just turn up and hope for the best? or is there paticular places we are supposed to be booking or is it all arranged for us? ??? ??????
It's about 3.5 hours + from Christchurch to Palmerston.... many other CHCH guys going leaving when? I don't know wether to get up super early Saturday and go from home or try get down there after work on Friday.
