We have Dangerous, ScumDog, Virago, ZZR, Rashika, Biff, OAB, R1Aaron, Waylander, SuziQ, 30UTD, hondaV2, Fordy, Jimmie, Buellbabe, idb, Myself and Mrs J.

Mrs V should be there too, but will probably be pillion - the Glenorchy run might be a bit much for a "three-week-old" learner!

We're not 100% confirmed yet - hope to confirm our on-call back-up for the business tomorrow - watch this space!

Plan? plan? we don't need no stinkin' plans!!

BTW what time you guys plan on being at Cromwell? Me'n'Jantar could meet y'all there for a combined ride to Q'town through the gorge.

Or if going via Crown range from Wanaka what time would you be heading over from the Lindis - Tarras direction?

I guess Yaldhurst is as good as any other place. I think 9:30 would be a good time leave Yaldhurst and since Rashika is having her Buell serviced at Fairlie on Friday morning (her and Dangerous are leaving for Fairlie early) we would arrive at Fairlie between 11:00 and 11:30 (165km Yaldhurst to Fairlie).

Dangerous was talking about returning via the coast on Sunday if the weather was right, don't if he is still considering it? Can decide later anyway I guess.

Tent, bag, change of clothes, hygiene items and you're all set, and the most important thing - money.

So we don't need a plan and you ask what time we are going to be at x place? How does that work?

My guess is that if we leave Chch at 9:30, meet D and R at Fairlie, then maybe 2:30 at Tarras (Yaldhurst - Tarras 425km).

The long range wether forecast (link) is looking semi-resonable too

My mate Cal has just signed up to KB (has been real quiet so far) will be there also.

I am unsure when I will leave. Am thinking of getting away a little earlier than 9:30 from Chch, passing thru Fairlie (drop in to High Country MC), watching out for the reputedly titchy cop around Twizel, Lindis, Taras, icecream in Cromwell (first orchard on the left after the bridge into Cromwell make real fruit icecreams $3 but), Kawarau gorge, Q'town. Where is a good lunch spot? Be good to catch Scumdog & Jantar en route - should be able to recognise a GS/HD combo.

This is still looking like a great KB turnout. Roll on Friday.
