    We are planning on going - ditching the kids for the weekend and having an Adult only riding weekend for a change

    dunno about the camping deal tho! fook that twill be bad enuf riding thru rivers and being wet and cold without staying that way! trying to convince some mates to come along and chip in for a room at one of the local lodges. We went about 3 years (or more) ago and it was pretty cool, will be interesting to see how the new orgnizers set it out and much better to ride in the winter without all the dust methinks

    I still could be keen to go ways in a place to avoid the camping

    Cold is much better then scorching heat and crazy amounts of dust. I went to the first ones in the winter, as soon as it was moved to summer it sucked. I think ill go this year if the funding is there.

    Done it in the wet and dry both just as good.
    Only thing that let down the dry were the fuck knuckles that thought they could still do massive speeds with no visibility.

    Hmmmm sounds like we should chat...... does your lady ride too?
    I'm guessing that the $90.00 is pp? certainly beats camping
    My partner has a customer that owns a motel and could hook him up with a 'deal' but we stayed there while at tussock and it was a
    freakn hole not soooo keen to repeat if there are other options

    Unfortunatly she doesnt ride and im fairly sure she said 90 for the whole house per night
    Ill quiz her when she gets in from her past time(spending my money).
