Come and ride the Southern Roads with us.
I just LOVE my Intruda, When i get time to mount it and RIDE!!!
OK guys the weather forecast looks like an absolute beauty for Sat so who is available and keen for a decent afternoons ride??
What I want to do is the Catlins loop but with an option for learners and those on smaller bikes.
The full loop is from Balclutha down to Mataura then out to the coast and back up through the Catlins.
The alternative route for the others is from Balclutha down via Owaka to Papatowai and back and meeting up with the riders doing the full loop somewhere down there.
It is ALL sealed in case anyone was wondering, the roads and scenery are just fantastic. I was down there earlier in the week in the car and spent most of the time wishing I was riding the bike.
Unfortunately Sat morning is out for me - going up to the Waipori Power station centennial (?) celebrations, but the afternoon is free. How about we meet outside one of the cafe's on Balclutha's main street at 1:30 and go from there. The whole trip shouldn't be any more than 3-3.5 hrs riding plus stops, so given the warm sunny day it will be we'll have plenty of time

Or down round the coast to Invercargill, gas up, and then turn round and come back up the coast![]()
Sounds like a scheme. I've got people coming to look at the house, so it'll depend on when they come.

I'm going to Alex Fri nite, back Saturday. I will see which way I turn at Balclutha... Will look for all the bikes.
Doing the Catlins again in a couple of weeks as part of the Summer Motorcycle Safari. Anyone else doing that one?
Come and ride the Southern Roads with us.
Weellll, seeing as I have Friday night off and don't start work until 8pm Sat I might as well join the fun.
CB has work on Saturday - so that means I have the choice of TWO bikes!
