I heard second hand that there were only about 5 places left a couple of weeks ago....FYI

[LBD]

Only 70 (restless) sleeps and 38 work days to go....maybe I am a nutter, but I do feel the excitement rising.......

[Gremlin]

I'll probably drop by on the Tuesday some time (coz you start in Turangi) to wish you nutters luck. I'll be heading north from the www.tt2000.org ride

So what do you get for your $285 per day?

Accom each nite in a good motel - own room, breakfast each day , restaurant quality meal each night, a shit load of organising, people to keep an eye on etc.

Any way it does matter now the boys and girls are on the road for day 3.
