Hi all . 4 more keen to join ride booked at the motu community house

[GPS MAN]

This ride is getting larger by the post!!!!

Going to be a MONSTER!

[Shewolf]

Sadly a few things have transpired against us coming on the ride this year, I have a double room booked at Matawai if anyone wants to grab this, otherwise I'll be ringing them to cancel this.

Sad!

Hi team,

Leaving Auckland Friday after work. Anyone from this part of nz heading down? Booked accommodation and looking forward to some fun!
I have a dr650 ready to roll!!!

[Rosie]

You can find them here

Do take the time to make sure they are loaded and displaying correctly before you turn up for the ride

[Danger Dave]

Is the ride still possable if we don't have a GPS?

[clint640]

Hi All, Route sheet attached for those without GPS. Apart from a couple of minor corrections this is the same as last year.

For those new to this, the idea is that you cut out them into strips & tape them together securely with the numbers in the top left of the little boxes in order. Then you roll them onto your rollchart holder thing, the right way around so you start at the beginning.

If you don't have a rollchart holder I strongly recommend you get one or make one otherwise I will have the pleasure of pointing & laughing as you chase wet bits of paper around in the wind & rain at every intersection. Have a look here for some info on making one, doesn't have to be that flash, any lunchbox about the right size with a clear lid, a couple of bolts or dowels, a few washers & some glue & you'll have something that works.

Cheers
Clint

Im humming and haring about the ride... Sounds cool but I'm pretty green.

I don't have a dedicated GPS , I just use my phone usually. Downloaded the files but when I import them into apps they show as straight lines between points rather than following the route. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Haven't had trouble downloading and using the adventure riding nz tracks before. Anyone else use a phone app for this? I have the Garmin software on my computer if I need to convert the files or something
