19 October, Battle of the Buckets NI assault: Pip Pip Tally Ho, old chaps
OK winkers, this is the bit where I rally the troops & say a bunch of us Norfies are going to go down to Chch & teach those upstart Mainlanders some manners and whatnot, return with the trophies and get back for a slap up meal of Sardines and 'taties before the Weekend's, um, end.
The BoB is a fantastic race on Ruapuna B track which is long enough to stretch your legs, but short & twisty enough to, As Jason used to put it so eloquently; sort the men out from the homos. A slow bike with decent tyres can easily midpack so you won't be left behind.
The race is 55min + 1 lap & you don't have to be super fit to do that as you would on a kart track. You'll need to go up 2 teeth on the front though.
The events are well run & the chch guys are as good a bunch as you'll find. Race is Sat (Oct 19) so can find accom (could get billeting if we ask) & cruise back home sun, or leg it sat night.
The Glorious General Skunk is organising some transport if that floats your boat, may be able to organise a truck to take a heap of bikes down cheaply.
Can we have a show of hands?
Now here is the rub:
In previous years we organised a whole heap & got maybe a dozen or more norfies there & had a great time.
Last year however Skunk raised the call & there was a lot of 'yeah I'm in talk' But by the time it was to leave stuff it was Skunk carrying the can & only one fine glorious racer that made the trip (ie me).
We'll need to book in the not too distant future & arrange the truck if needs be so think " Can I afford a weekend away/find 2 or $300 in the next 3 months? (1/2 of which you'd drink & eat in a normal weekend anyway).
We'd want a deposit at the time of the booking which would be dependant on how many people were coming & how all travelling, ie would could take a van & a truck, or people could ride or fly.
What says you all?
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
