Dusty Butt 1,000km adventure ride

**PLUG** · 12th March 2007, 16:42

I plan on heading back to knock the bastard off over Easter ... camp up the Friday night in St Arnard either @ the DOC camp or the back packers & head away bright & early Saturday morning ... any takers from the inaugural DB crew ...

If you load THIS up into Google Earth you may get the Dusty Buttcheek 500 track and some photos.
As I add more photos they'll appear like magic at your end.

Possibly...

Indeed, save target/link as then run it with google earth and all will be revealed...
Or for just the photos if you don't have the bandwidth to happily run google earth.. http://www.panoramio.com/user/267697

I'd prefer a week or two after Easter... hoping to own my own DR soon (got one lined up, just need a small loan and for owner to take possession of its replacement) and thought you had other plans in the pipeline for Easter. Either way I may be riding blacktop on the coast Karamea kind of direction with J and some others... over Easter.

Hey Plug,

I'll be in if you're doing it over Easter.
Marie probably won't go pillion, She'd come down to St Arnard on her bike
and camp but head back to Nelson on the road.

Are you planning on doing the whole butt again with a break in the middle
or just finishing off the last cheek

Aeee gsjim... the second cheek starting @ St Arnard ... based on a 50k/h average at best, it'll be a days work ... if there is a bit of time at the end, up & over the Mangatapu might be in order ... & i promise to keep me pants on this time ...

Shit hot work on the roll sheets Ryan ... was amazed at the accuracy of the distances ... you sure know how to read a map & transpose the info ... thanks for all your work, making the whole thing possible

Or so I heard

....

I'm sure meths would work just fine. The marker was a old fasion OHP marker. Thats partly why I gave you guys the extra stickers. Other was cause what the hell was I going to do with 10ish extra stickers

I'm really keen - keen to try a camping trip on the bike. Sister in-law expecting an addition to the family from around that time on so not sure. Will confirm closer to the time.

Thanks for the comments about the roll charts P.

Cheers R

How about we aim for Saturday 14th April, would that work for Nordieboy too? (That's for those who are not able to join the Easter run with Plug)

**NordieBoy** · 12th March 2007, 21:16

14th April works for me.

Dusty Butt part 2 - Turn the other cheek.

The 14th is basically the due date for sister in law so thats even more unlikely for me. You never know about these things though. Will have to see how things are closer to the time.

Why do you want to be there, it's not your baby. Guess your just too much of a family man, i never attended my brothers child being born, and hes my brother not an inlaw.
Maybe since this was more your project than anyone elses i'll wait for your suggested date which would be when?
