with this rally a feature is the group ride out about 1pm so we want to be there for that after setting up tents etc etc.
I was thinking of leaving here about 9am heading back towards Waitahuna and doing a loop up over Mt Stuart coming back onto SH8 just above the Manuka Gorge (Burma Road), go through the gorge then turn left into Perry Rd and then I want to turn left at the top of Perry road and follow round past Table Hill and over the causeway at the headwaters of the Toko River (I've heard about this but never been over there)and then heading back down to SH1, probably via Circle Hill, Down to Milton and then turn off and take the gravel out to Toko Mouth, along the coast to come in the back of Kaitangata and probably just stick to the seal out to Kaka Point from there.
All visiting bikers should do the ride out to the Nugget point lighthouse which is about 10km of easy gravel from the rally site.
That route should include some really good viewing sites - I could make a much longer trip but I think that will be enough for the morning. Last year we did a run out to the lighthouse after we got back from the group ride.
What other adv bikers are interested in that ride?

Count me in Bruce :-)

Were you serious re a possible vacancy regarding spot on the floor for a sleeping bag on the friday night, as it would be lots easier than heading off so bloody early from here

( and a lot more interesting too )

Have replied by PM. Any other adventure riders interested in the gravel ride round my bit of South Otago on the way to the PP send me a PM if you haven't already.

Sooo, it seems the Tar Babies go to Chez-Scumdog on the Friday and the Shingle-Shuckers head to Ruralmans Riders-Respite eh?

Put in for Friday off today, fingers crossed they let me have the time off.
