    Arrow KTM Capital Coast Adventure 2008

    Woo hoo! It's on again, Sat 26th April 2008. Info has just been released, see the KB calendar event and the CCA web site. This is the middle day of the ANZAC long weekend, so no excuses about getting time off...

    This is a legendary ride and the after-match function ain't too shabby either!

    Definitely a "must do" on the adventure calendar, don't wait for the next one 'cos it's only run every couple of years.

    Entry form attached in post 74, cheers cooneyr.
    Cheers,
    Colin

    Smile

    I've pencilled it in, now my adventure training has begun in earnest

    I'll make sure I don't park next to Clint though, he seems to end up in a lot of photos

    Woo Hoo! I hope 4Skins is gunna give me a discount on the entry for all my modelling & photography work on the CCA site

    Actually, given that the new 690 Enduro should be hitting our shores about then I think it's only fair that the sponsors provide me with one for the weekend, It would be far more photogenic than the dirty ol' 640

    Obviously the scenic route down will be taken, how about the Northern crew meet up at Ohakune for lunch on the Friday, then take in a diversion down the Whangaehu or Turakina valleys then ?? on to Plimmerton? Alternate suggestions welcome of course, maybe a better route could be put together down the East side (hint hint Zukin )

    Cheers
    Clint

    My helmet camera and I will have a bit of a think about it, being in the middle of a 3 day weekend is an incentive, but it'll be the cost that's my issue, half of my money tree forest seems to have fallen over in the last few years.

    Ok, that's enough thinking, I'm in too.
    Bit hard to take time off at that time of year so best long range plan for me will be ride up and catch the boat on Friday, catch the boat again and ride home on Sunday.
    If those days are going to work in with any other South Island riders plans and we can get on the same boats then that will be great.

    Cooneyr you do what ever it takes man.

    I'll be aiming for the same plan i.e. Up Friday back Sunday. No time of work makes it more likely. Would rather go up early and back late and maybe do a ride or two around the Welly while there if somebody local will take us exploring or tell us where to go (not that that way!).

    How much exploring you think there will be left to do after the main event?

    Anyone able to give us an estimate of the big days distance for budgeting purposes?

    The ride doesn't stray far from Welly, so a burn over the Rimutakas & a look down around Palliser Bay would make a good extra.

    Last time the ride was a bit over 200km, which doesn't sound like much but it certainly worked out to be a full days riding & sightseeing.

    Cheers
    Clint

    Seems I'm in but I'm not booking anything till next year. Things might come up that mean I cant go.

    As for local exploring - I'm sure the locals will come up with something i.e. BusaJims Akatarawa adventure or Clints Palliser Bay or similar.
