    Count me in ?

    Hi to the original tight five, As you might know i'm in WA Australia at the moment but i will be back in NZ after the Moto GP as i'm riding back to Syndey with Fleethual and most likely sending my bike back home.After that the universe will provide and maybe come back to Aussie.So this could mean that the Tiger could well be on the market for sale so Bruce think about it, a fully sorted Tiger for you,only done afew k's around the block and down to the local dairy to pick up some milk. If time and money happens i will be on the Passes Ride on something with two wheels.So count me in at this stage.If you want to email me my address is mrtaylor@inspire.net.nz

    Any more thoughts on the dates guys?

    Not meaning to be pushy but any chance of working out a date for this ride?

    I'm planning on flying the whanau to CHCH while we're doing the passes and trying to get one of those crazy $39 AKL-CHCH deals on virgin...

    Maybe a poll as for what weekend in Feb? What ya reckon Mr Ruralman?

    Cheers,
    Windboy.

    Date poll

    Poll??? Bugger theres me thinking this could be a dictatorship!! - OK if we must.
    I would prefer it to be after the school holidays but there was some interest from a teacher earlier on so a late Jan week might need to be included.

    Can you set up a poll Jantar please?
    Two of the weeks should be starting Sundays the 10th and 17th of Feb
    The Jan date prob should be Sun 20th?

    Teacher likes the poll idea and has voted. Thanks. Cheers.

    I didn't keep an exact record of last year's costs, but it was around $300 for fuel, $130 for accomodation, $300 for food and drink, and $279 to repair the plastic damaged in my fall.

    So all up around $1000.

    Somewhere between $1000 and free then? I like Ruralmans estimate better.
    Count me in then!

    OK, do I trust the poll thread and assume a Christchurch start on 11 Feb?

    I'd like to get ferry bookings etc organised asap.

    I'll be leaving from Russell, so would anyone else travelling down the NI like to hook up for the journeys to and from Christchurch?

    (Sorry, Laava, a furthest from home prize is just going to come my way...)

    Yes, Rural man and I had a little discussion about it over the weekend, and it is 11th February start. I may need to go over the route and change a couple of the overnight points to keep the days of a reasonable length. We are also looking at the organisation if we get too many riders. We may need to split into two groups to prevent it becoming to strung out. So the full details are not yet available.

    I'll work on the route and overnight stops after I get back from Aussie in early November. I'll ask for an indication of numbers at that point and I'll be asking for confirmed entries by the second week of January so I can confirm accomodation.

    Hi PeteJ, me and at least one another Jafa (gingabiker) will be shooting down possibly on the saturday 9th. Good point on the booking idea, may pay catching a morning ferry on the sunday 10th?

    later,
    Windboy.
