HI Johnny

Richard

Cheers for the offer Richard,
I'm thinking of just goin'hard and trying for the 3 a.m sailing, that way I can pop in at home on the way down to Dunedin. But may take up the offer if things don't work out.

Cheers

no nothing you need to bring

[Highlander]

The end, being Bluff, is that as in Eagle Tavern Bluff, or end of the road (Stirling Point)?

[DougieNZ]

End Checkpoint = Stirling point as I understand it. Social night is on at the New Eagle friday night.

[Lee Rusty]

bluff to sign in at midday
then to eagle

[Highlander]

Thanks Lee, that is what I thought.

What is the latest update on entry numbers? (just curious)

[Lee Rusty]

In the past years we have found that many small towns close main streets for parades on ANZAC day as their memorials are in the main streets for wreath laying - PLease respect any closures - the DIGGERS have a right to their day they earned it the hard way.

See you all in Bluff

Please RideSafe

Good luck people, and be careful out there.

I'd love to join you in getting a sore butt but I'm currently sweltering in Brissy and off to Hamilton Island tomorrow.

I'll have to settle for sailing, pina colada's and reading the ride reports on my return.

[Jantar]

My bike is serviced, checked, new tyres fitted, Panniers and rear bag loaded, and I'll be on my way at 8:30 in the morning. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Just got the rear rim back from having a tweak from the accident knocked out of it, 2 new tyres fitted this morning, bike getting it's 10,000km service today, will pick up in the morning, then just have to replace the panels damaged in the accident ( have them all here ) and wire up a 12V outlet for various accessories, and pack the pelican cases. Splint comes off the broken thumb on Saturday ( it's been 3 weeks..... ) and come 8am Sunday, we're off ( Me and Gary, an as yet non-KBer ) Looking forward to catching up with Jantar and the crew, and meeting all the other like minded riders......
