Thanks for the encouragement
Slow as a wet week that I am (trying to watch the speed on the open road as well due to my points status ouch) it was an enjoyable little pootle.
Looking forward to a few trial runs in SeptemberDon't need much notice so keen on any runs.

I'll be doing the Chatto Creek 1000 again. There is a bit of information on last year's 1000 on this thread: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...tto+creek+1000
I did do a full write up that was published in Bike Rider Magazine, and due to copywrite I couldn't put it on here. But if you pm me with an email adress I'll send you a copy of the write-up without the photos.

Could be tempted, working on freeing up some time commitments on those dates, - I'm trusting that Jantor is like an old GF, doesn't mind a late entry;

No problems, we accept entries right up to the night before. But if you want a badge and/or T-shirt then it would pay to enter a couple of weeks earlier.

The GPS made the navigation easy. Also helps keep track of the averages etc. Feel pretty good at the moment. So only need to do todays mileage + 700k's and i'll be sweet...Might need a sheepskin.....
Forum whore
