2009 Adventure rides

[young1]

We don't have anything planned for next year yet that I know of, other than the Dusty Butt.

So who is going to put their hand up and organise a ride in their region?

In summer camping is obviously a good option, although staying at a country pub sure has its attractions.

What are your thoughts on a more expensive ride, maybe staying at a nicer place somewhere (that is if they would have you lot - although probably no tame sheep)?

I am happy to plan another ride in the Naki next year.

Well I was just thinking about when to have the next Excellent Eastern Escape Ride, How about 16-18 Jan or 14-15 Feb? As discussed elsewhere we could start with an enduro stage at our Reporoa Bush block Friday arvo, then a cruise over to Mohaka via Waikaremoana, then back via Tutira etc like last time. I'll have to check with the bro if the bach is available on those dates though, & see if there are some tame sheep available to entertain the Naki boys

...& of course the MMMMM ride will be scheduled sometime midwinter so start taking those harden up pills now.

Cheers

Freaking work has slowed down the "3 Station Ride Over". If time permits, I'll call into the farm owners in the new year for a chat.
Thats as far as it's progressed.

If I can get over there Clint the Feb date is better for me. The January date I will be in Rotorua for the speedway. The MMMMM ride sounds good again to, just try to sort the weather out a bit sooner!

Reofix, Raglan would be a great spot to base a ride.

Is there much riding on the West Coast above Auckland? Piha, Murawai way?

When & where do I sign up?

I may have to organise a North Wairarapa ramble. I'm sure I could hunt out a few more nasty tracks you guys haven't tried yet.

I figured out a two-dayer after your TTTTT ride.
Napier to Tokomaru Bay on day one.
Gisborne - Waikaremoana - Taupo on the Sunday.
Mainly backroads of course.
I had planned a late March or mid April date.

A great plan.....just avoid late March if you can, us true adventurers will be doing the Rusty Nuts Southern Cross ride, on our adventure bikes!
