    It's been awhile since I have been there, will be interesting to see the old place again.
    SDU has never been there and has heard about the place so for her it is a must stop and see. So if we do not meet up at the start or see you on the road, we will catch up with there, I guess.
    Just finished painting my modified Ventura pack rack put the rocker cover back on after a leak, so apart from maybe a oil change and a test ride, we are ready to go. I think?
    Feel the fear and do it anyway

    Don't confuse education with intelligence.
    There are alot of highly educated idiots out there.

    A lot will depend on weather conditions on the day, but Rally site to Kaikoura should be 7 - 8 hours if you're not sure of the road. Kaikoura to Picton is around 2 hours but watch for slippery roads before sunrise.
    Time to ride

    We are leaving at 5am because we have to cross Arthers and Porters pass. Anything can happen with the weather up there so delays are more than likely.

    What i was thinking of was if we had a good run we could wait at Rakia for you guys, It wouldnt be worth you guys waiting for us tho, especially if the weather gods dont like us very much.

    I think it is but not by too much, the roads are better for winter riding and my off sider is worried about his fuel range issues going the other way.
