South Island 08 Doo..

Argh!
Greymouth schmeymouth....

I'ts meant to be down SOUTH this year people.

(As much as having had two rallies can make for 'tradition'!!!)

Fair enough SD, I'd prefer something down south, think Kopari could be a option for 09 rally , unless were going for 3's top, middle & south.......tradition and all .

I think the Tautuku Education Centre is available for the last weekend in November. Normally used for school trips through the week. Loads of accomodation and on the Southern Scenic Route.
I am waitng confirmation on this. Will post as soon as I hear.

Then that would be the same wkend as the magpie wouldn't it?

so looks like it's a debate over west or souf...guess it is the soufs turn...how many coasters have we got on board that go to these anyhow?....might be a good chance to suss out someones T-Bird..(wink wink, nudge nudge)

[Rashika]

yeah but if we make it the far south then you buggers dont get much riding in, and we cant have that now can we?
west coast woldn't be bad or maybe makarora kinda area. depends on what accomodation is available. Like the idea of danseys pass area too. What accom is available there? and cheap, we are cheapsters y'know!

Talking of tradition. I'll bring the tape measure and a prize for both male and female but someone will need to bring the cherries. Hold me to it.

Which is why I suggested in a later post that we keep it for '10.

Then we could stick to the 1st weekend in Dec.

I got a call late last night...It's available for that weekend only at that time of year. Always fully booked for months ahead.

They're even taking bookings for '09.

Another idea would be to book it for 1st weekend in December 10. I know it's a long way off, but it would be guaranteed. And it would fit in with the North/South every second year thing.

its sth's turn this year & this location is looking good to me & mrs SLR
date is the same as last year as well so wont clash with maggpie & nighthawks birthday

cheers us

I've got plenty of good contacts in the Naseby area.
I'm sure I could find something.
We just need to agree.

Just remember some of us up here last year only rode 30k to get to the event, didnt worry us none now .
AN even worse I can almost walk to the next two events on the calendar!

So having to do a full days ride down into the southern lakes will be a joy filled adventure. Bring it on!
Pluss the nice long ride home too........weeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hmmm...St Bathans, Hayes Engineering Works, Curling Rink in Naseby (now that's a hoot!), Dansey's Pass, some great roads (Middlemarch-Taieri, Pig Root, Oterehua-Lauder-Omakau), I have a mate in Naseby that fixes up classic race vehicles for overseas clients and restores and races bikes himself, pubs all over, McRaes mine.

And I'm sure Jantar or Ruralman or Oldrider between them would know of loads of off-tarmac routes.

And Naseby itself is the most laidback town on earth.
I think its in some sort of portal to a reverse temporal vortex or something cos time definitely stands still there!
