Yes, it's an endurance Adventure ride on mostly public roads and farm tracks of which some resemble an easy trail ride, some a dirt highway and some parts are actual state highway. The bike must be plated, mid sized ADV bikes seem to be the best choice, the bigger stuff just wears ya out.Originally Posted by kiwi cowboy

Email Claire or Gordon at Epic events as I suspect that they have `Pre-booked` most of the accommodation at Fairlie as they did this year.
If that is the case you should be able to get a single bed in 1 of the pre booked rooms.
Here for a good time, not necessarily a long time

Looks like there are some options on airbnb in Fairlie

I'm registered, riding with three other Dusty veterans, sorry but I won't be organising a pre DB ride this year as I'm am trailing bike to Fairlie due work commitments. We are camping in Fairlie and have a motel booked in Alex to minimise gear required, I'll be on my blue '03 WR450F with rack n Safari tank sing out if you see me, hopefully I'll be shiny side up at the time!

I can give you feedback now if you like, as far as loop routes from Alex go that is a rip-snorter, nice job mate
For those that haven't ridden some/all of those routes, nzexc has lined up a tasty treat!

Fuel charts arrived today , no excuse for me to run out, but missing a couple would put me near the end of my range using 12km/L as an estimate
