Ulysses 1000k Day 3rd Nov 2007

[Highlander]

1000km that easy... it the 1000 miler (1600km) that is a little more difficult

Easy could be overstating it a little. Certainly do able, but you know you've done it.

Left Yaldhurst 7:25am, arrived Prestons Road 8:30ishpm: Not the fastest 1000km traverse ever, but we did have some long stops.
My chiropractor is thrilled with how it went... and 14 hours is a long time to be staring at the inside of a helmet
For me the hero of the day was the guy I saw just out of Renwick (assuming he was doing the 1000km) crunched up on a CBR250RR. 1000kms in a day on a 250 sportsbike? Now that's commitment.

Check the North Island 1000km trip in the Ride Reports area, they had a FXR150 complete it.

Great day out with not a drop of rain. i started at 6.30am from Manchester St and finished at 6pm at Fitzgerald Ave. About 50 minutes of stops so i'm quite pleased with my average speeds. Thought i would have seen more cops in Nelson as the rally was on but can't recall seeing any - maybe more mufti cars were sent in to the area?
