Molesworth and Rainbow

[Transalper]

Just note that the Rainbow people don't like it when you ring up last minute expecting them to give you a key, and they like a couple of weeks notice if the key needs to be posted anywhere (they will not drop everything just to drive all the way in to town just to post a key and then the mail man doesn't visit St Anaud every day either).

And the Rainbow may be a bit dodgy snow-wise.

I can quite easily come up with a 5-600 km ride without it though

Yes - I hadn't really thought that bit through.

After hearing snow warnings on the Rainbow I wasnt game to try it on my own so I hadn't done anything about arranging keys etc but thought if Nordieboy was there to shovel snow out of my way it would be ok - forgot about the key....

I am easily (mis)led....

when suits you?

Instead of waiting, we emailed the station manager, this is what he emailed back. Nice job DOC?

Sam, I havent had a copy of your application sent to me. We have the Goose Shoot on that weekend and access is not a go. Give me a ring on 03 5757043 and we will see what we can do .Jim.

Mate "see what we can do" = "call me and we can do and open them cold as fuck gates for ye".

[timpel_800]

well the bike is fucking ready for it allright!

It took some blood sweat and tears, and a broken indicator (who needs indicators anyway) but I pulled it off!

Monday we're gonna make the call.

Be good to hear some Guzzi sounds finally.
Fingers crossed for the call

Really sorry to hear that - hope he make a full recovery.
Keep us updated.

What time are you looking at hitting Pelorus?

Provided the rains stops in Wgtn (I'm a pussy) I will catch the evening ferry down. So if I leave Waikawa about 9ish and go via Queen Charlotte Drive and Havelock - I'm guessing about 10ish?. My cellphone is 0274499115. If I haven't heard from you by 10 - or see you at Pelorus I'll assume you don't love me anymore and will make my own fun

If its pissing down in Waikawa/Picton I will stay in bed....

***edit - still looks pussy in Wgtn and I cant be bothered starting a holiday soggy so - weather permitting - I will go tomorrow***


cheers
