    Cannonball Run

    Anyone thought of organizing a NZ Cannonball run or something similar?

    Yeah like that'd be a Cannonball Run NOT, what you're suggesting is called a bike ride.

    it's held every weekend on the coromandel
    A universal dream of greatness is that
    We push ourselves to the limit
    Yet still be brilliant when the chips are down.
    Sometimes , The struggle kills the dream.

    You could always do something stupid on a bike ride...Love to speed but am not stupid enough to kill myself doing it and hence my comment..."sensible"

    How about an event that, say, starts in Invercargill and finishes in Kaitaia four days later?

    Or the Southern Cross, or the 10000 km in 10 days event? My word, we could never class them as the Cannonball Run, surely Perhaps Timati should start with a Grand Challenge

    And I thought it was just me who harboured these sensible ideas?! But then again, I understand the meaning of speed limit as the terminal velocity of the bike...
