My secretary ie: wife didn't tell me of the email!!
Don't think I'll be doing the Dusty Butt as I personally think $170 is a bit steep...then again I'm a tightarse!

Booked time off work. Have just signed up and paid (you get one free T shirt). I sorted accommodation a while back. So now i just make sure I'm fit. And yes i do think its expensive. People pay $50 to go on trail rides and struggle to do more than 100 km. Plus you gotta get there ( whole day $100 easy. So not to bad when you add it up.

Yep, I have registered for next years Dusty Butt so would also be Keen on the annual ride from christchurch to fairlie via Orari gorge.

If its gonna happen that is ????

I will be coming down from Wellington if anyone is keen to do the Molesworth on the way down and meet the Christchurch ride if it is on. Let me know and we can sort the ferry etc.

Does anyone have a plan for anything interesting to get to Fairlie on Friday the 13th ( lucky i am not superstitous ).

I will be in christchurch the night before so keen to join in with a ride heading south.

Myself and my usual accomplices have decided to do our own thing this year, can't really justify the DB entry cost anymore given we have done it so many times
As we already had the leave booked we have put together our own 4 day ride taking in some of the Dusty route but mostly new terain.
Have managed to secure access to several new to me High country properties around Twizel so we'll be mostly in the Mckenzie country exploring...have fun
