Coast to Coast

**Pickle** · 15th November 2004, 17:20

On Saturday 11th December is the annual Coast to Coast ride to raise funds for the Rescue Helicopter leaving Himatangi and going to Akitio.
There is tent space at Akitio if anyone is planning to stay overnight, great roads.
I will be going on this ride & if anyone wants to stay at Himatangi on the Friday nite then they can pm me as I have a bach with enough bed space for up to 12 people, will be enjoying a few quite beers on the Fri nite, also plan to stay at Akitio Sat nite.
Not sure which bike will be taking but most probably be the mighty CT110.

Yoshie the ride is an organised ride, sign in starts at 9.30am and departure should be at 10.30am, but bacon & egg breakfast followed by a strong coffee at the bach before leaving is a must. Entry fee is $15.00 and includes light BBQ lunch, normally a prizegiving at the end.
As for Akitio it is South of Herbertville, look at a map and it is straight out from Dannevirke.

Last year myself and VTWIN did the Coast to Coast. HEAPS of fun, and like a squillion bikes. I felt sorry for some of the cages who had to wait ages for the endless line of bikes to go past intersections. They even had police escorts/presence, and marshall's, but at time the average speed was, err, yeah.....

I'm game, that is assuming my bike is back.
