Rally NZ - Anyone else going?

Thats right they are back at the end of August!!

Shame it clashes with the Cold Kiwi, but never mind

Curious to see if anyone else is going?

Might even take the bike this time if the weather plays nice

Cheers Scott

Yeah I am... not too sure if I should take the NC (which will be on the road by then), depends on how much gravel has to be negotiated.

I'd love to go, I do love a bit of dirt. Where will they be?

Using the Waikato/Franklin roads again, same as last time basiclly.

Before I left NZ, I went to a special stage in Manukau. A once-off?

Excuse for a ride anyway

And riding on gravel is always a laugh.

I hope to take the bike to see a stage on the Saturday or Sunday. I think Saturday they are round Kawhia?

You dont need to ride on gravel to get there!
90% of the Special Stages you can access via sealed roads.

Ah, but riding gravel roads to get there is half the fun -- get your mind into `rally mode'

Might head down on the Sunday if I don't have stacks of work to do.
