[Ghost_Bullet]

Wow.. man my arse hurts just pror to 600m... damn by 1200 km think me arse will be totally dead...and I have herd many peope say that "arses are totally overrated"





I could easly organise very cheap acomodation fox side, even though I think that it not be an option this trip.. but for another ride of similer proprtions. Even a coastal return venture.

Ok ok, not the first time you told me to harden up now is it... mmmm I have thought sheepskin, but dont wanna seem pansy and all.... maybe hedgehog skin might be the go... a bit like acupuncture on the run uh!!!!!

I'll be keen if I can get my stator coil fixed by then.

Just finished doing 2900km over 5 days with 900km done in one day. Great fun.

Time to go for a decent one day ride,
I reckon early January, say Saturday the 5th?

Mate... we will be doing just what you say with a wee suprise in it when we do the Woodstock, in Jan.
Maybe you should hold off till then?

No its not, so be a brave boy and come away for 2 days... I cant see to many people on the 5th doing the ride nor can I see trhem doing it on the 5th and 2 weeks later

Oh I love that road between those points, and the lower buller... the excuse I use to hit the Mokihinui Rally.

We should still be sweet by the time we hit glaciers. I suspect it would be about Omarama before the time and distance makes itself felt...??

Sounds like a great ride. More than welcome.

It's highly likely Woodstock will be a there and back ride for me, or at the very most a Lewis/Arthurs Pass ride. Will be a one nighter as well.

I've just added up the mileage. I used that column next to the map and by my calculations this is a 1700k's trip 1705.4k's to be exact. Tell me I'm wrong someone but if not this is way too long for a group ride in one day.

Don't know. Google Maps is telling me 1345km...will check it out.

I whole idea is to do it in a day, non stop.
We have 3-5 that are keen and that's enough.
And you have a few weeks to recover so you could easily do both, if you want to.

Why must we come to Woodstock are you getting engaged or married or having a baby?
By the way they are just wild guesses.

Going clockwise I added up the times. From Chch to Omarama is 13 hours 54 minutes and that's not counting rest stops. Add about four hours to Chch from Omarama and you get 17hours.54mins. That's riding time or there abouts. take in coffee and piss stops you could add two hours min. So you are getting into a 19+ hour trip. Bit far for my arse to handle.
