Hey Rigley MX nut has a thread Christchurch to dusty butt Friday 13th. The one mattsdakar has organised in the past. You'll just have to search for it, he's looking for numbers.
Also how are you getting on with your leaking fuel tap ?

So the GPS files are out. Much better job this year.

Hi flashg, new fuel tap arrived on Tuesday, bit close for comfort. ... Not impressed with new metal omg fuel tap from Safari tanks, has been fitted for 3 days and started to weep fuel. Not impressed!

Glad thats sorted for now, shouldn't get any worse hopefully. See you tonight

All the best to you Dusty Bummers. Rogson left here at lunchtime to hook up with a Friday pre ride.
Meanwhile TimG & I will be rescuing damsels in distress with my jet boat in the Coast to Coast.

They're doing it reversed this year, all the views that were in the rear vission mirrors will be laid out in front of them this year, all that were nasty hill climbs will be nasty descents and all that were nasty descents will be nasty climbs.
Look forward to hearing some reports, the first one I've missed since the original Dustys conception.

Just arrived back from the Dusty, not the best I DB1K I have done, GPS coordinates sucked for the Garmin, following ghost trails all day Sat, not the only one though. Sunday morning sucked even more, went across the track from Clyde to Cromwell and went down a FWD rut, clipped my boot on the side, and hey presto one broken ankle.

Trip down was great to Fairlie, oh well, 6 weeks in a cask will fly by I'm sure

You might get a tad pissed and die from alcohol poisoning from the fumes though!

Bugger about the ankle, bet yours isn't the only injury though.
Which Garmin and how much GPS experience have you had? and keep ya toes in, lift your feet when the ruts are deep !
