Now stop it, you're just making my face hurt from smiling mate!

So Joe, have you tallied up our potential total kms for the KCR yet?

**junkmanjoe** · 22nd March 2009, 19:38

have been going through the ride links, done by motoxnut.
looks like 2 days will be close to 700kms, give or take a km
then depend which way we go up,
and which way home.aprox 550kms / 7 hrs travel each way.
= aprox 1800 kms give or take a km.

this only aprox direct routes. not taking in for stops to rest my ass and to wait for you to refuel.

sweet.

It would be silly not to round it off at 2000kms then!!!

Man, we are getting too keen!

And coming back, sunday arvo or Monday?

And do they have any bunks spare?[

For those who havent caught up with it already, the calendar listing ( HERE ) has been updated with Google map routes for both days and due to popular opinion the Saturday start time has been moved forward 1 hour to 9.00 am so that we can arrive in Taumarunui before dark
