Diggers Ride

a minimum of 1.833 people per room.

Maybe they've seen Shrek?




Actually, after the price issues at Fairlie on the DB, get him and TrialsRider to argue the finer points with the management. Worked for us

Wee bit ambiguous "Tarrif NZ $55 - $110, Rooms ranging from $30-$90 per night."
If the Tarrif starts at $55 then how cam a room cost only $30 unless it's per person with a minimum of 1.833 people per room.

OK just rang them, they have rooms with two SINGLE beds, $75.00 per night, they have three of these, another unit with 3 single beds plus other stuff

I am happy to share a room to split costs except for Struan because he snoooooooooores

First in first served for the cheapest rooms

ok, I'll share with you.
What time you heading down Friday.
I could potentially have some or all the day off.
Dr Phil is doing a back roads ride down, so far he's thinking he'll end up staying in Oamaru or Palmerston Friday night.

Actually it wasnt Shrek I threatened them with, it was Donkey, Shrek was plan B to rip their arms off and hit them with the soggy end

Via the Awakino zig-zag right?

Via the Awakino zig-zag right?

Of course on the back wheel all the way, one handed waving to the crowds, eating a toasty and drinking a milkshake.

Ok Ok I know that's stretching it, forget the milkshake, you would spill it.

[ADVGD]

...Then option of either Myres / Haka Passes or Blackforest Track to home...

Would be quite keen on Black Forest if that side hasn't been sorted yet and everyone else is keen, haven't been through there in a while...

Hmm, after stripping down the clutch it appears there is an issue with one of the Rekluse slide weight ball grooves that caused the slipping clutch. A different approach will be needed to get going before tomorrow, I'll go and see what I can do with a big arse hammer, gas torch, an angle grinder and keep you posted on the progress

[Crim]

bloody ducks won't get in a bloody row - like herding bloody cats, rugby on Sunday afo (promised to take kids) but was gonna shoot down fri, do sat and then race back up sun morn - now I have got a work appointment friday late afo - so might have to file this in the too hard basket - that must be the 5 or 6 decent length ride I have missed out on this year so far
have a great ride!

[ADVGD]

The Rekluse has issues, luckily I had some spare friction plates in my box of tricks so I am back to a standard clutch but, on the good side I am all go for the trip tomorrow so see you all at the Caltex at 2:30

Glad to hear you got your fluff back in order

For anybody who wants them I have GPX files for the trip, I am not sure how to put them on here so if you PM me with your email address I will ping them through

Well apart from work dramas & son using up my broadband, things look to be falling into place ok. Big thanks to TrialsRider for mocking up a GPS route tonight - there's no way i could do that on dial-up. Mind you he needs to keep busy - he's missing his Bro already.

Sat night digs is pub so linen included & tucker on site. Room rate is $40 incl continental breakfast, dinner extra.
Local card pump (91) is 95% reliable but got friendly farmer as back-up.

Expect frosty mornings & clear sky's. Mostly a mix of gravel, scenic seal & the odd greasey bit on the Dunstan Trail from frost thaw.

7 riders I think - please let me know if I'v missed someone:
