When I was working I used to travel a lot between Otematata and Christchurch airport.
Filling up with gas and setting the trip meter at each end used to be 333km either way.
That is up through the McKenzie country or down through Waimate and up the East Coast.
I wont mention time because I always obeyed the law!

Some people like to take the (time) shortcut and some like to just doddle along stopping here and there.
Generally about four hours to or from Christchurch depending on traffic etc.
Quicker on a bike just by being able to thread through the traffic. Cheers John.

So what about us Southern boys, how long will it take to meet up with Ruralman then Jantar then K14 (he is going?) then idb (if he's going) then over the Lindis to KB Partyland HQ?

And how is said KB Partyland HQ to be identified?

Oldrider might want to put up ballons/flag or similar so the stragglers won't scream on past....

Didn't get a shot of the dining room.

That place looks shit hot, reckon it's pretty much perfect and is the popular choice anyway

How about we (including the Dunedin riders) meet at lawrence at 10-10:30, then to Alexandra for lunch and meet up with Jantar and the Q'town/Arrowtown `crew, then from there it will be an easy couple of hours over to Otematata with plenty of time to get settled in and stocked up (or even for a local ride if the mood takes you).
Come home via North Otago depending maybe on if we've gone up to Cook.

Could some one let me know a time and place to meet you guys up - I assume I am part of the arrowtown crew seeings as I just shifted from Dunedin Today - and survived

Also are female type partner pillions sort of allowed on these things or do we have to keep them at home

We'll let you know the time to meet us closer to the date. But possibly all meet for lunch at Cromwell?

Ill have one, and SD will have one, so definitely bring another if you wish.

**oldrider** · 27th October 2006, 22:14

CB is not a certainty for this get-together due to her workload, however to keep you plebs happy I will endeavour to turn up and bring a relative amount of sanity to the procedings

Can't leave ALL the clowning to Dangerous.
