Yeah now that gotta be a block, lewis, westport, greymouth, haast, wanaka, omarama, geraldine, and home to chch... that is huge...


MMMM now just thinking if I could do a show day thing.... taking tomorrow off, just cause I can, spend the time with kids... so could well work in my favour.....

Haast Pass beckons too....

Funny you should say that, reckon it's about 1000km round through Haast, I've been talking about it with Skinny Birdman, 426 Crasher and Pevs recently, we just did the Uylsses 1000km loop together.
Unfortunately with Christmas looming and the budget not doing so well at the moment we thought it would have to wait till end of January or Februaryish for us.

[imdying]

Yeah maybe... dude is supposed to weld me up tonight, but... 1000kms on the RGV would probably kill me

[Mikkel]

Would be nice - still I think I might be struggling to do a 1k km in a day on my ZXR.

I'm not too keen for the Bealy. You are heading into shit weather.

Kaikoura for fish and chips might be a better option. Take a look at the weather forcasts for inland Canterby. Or a short blast down to the Chequred Flag. Yep I know its the straights but there is a place for them instead of the 'kinkies.' Have a bit of a think on this.

I'm still scrubbing in a rear tyre so I'm going somewhere tomorrow just dont want the wet.

Just turn inland when you get there, some interesting roads around there

I beg to differ, the only wet place tomorow in the forecasts I watch is Kaikoura, and even that should clear by lunch time.

Also here's an Arthurs Pass Weather Station complete with Webcam if you want to see it before you go...

I accessed it from this list of stations...

Too huge for a little boy like you, hey?

With the demise of the Glenorchy rally that leaves early/mid January for some big rides, I know you don't care for rallys too much, but the timing is perfect.


Anyway, all go for tomorrow, the weathers looking good. Be there at 10:00.
