Wellingtonians Attending Track Day

**BNZ** · 15th March 2005, 21:44

Ok guys, trying to do some planning for this weekend for those of us in wellies who are heading up to the track day. Track day is the sunday, but I for one can't be f*(&#d riding up, riding all day, and riding home. Im trying to organise either:
A. Car Pool with van/trailer for bikes
B. Group Ride up
C. Sat night accomodation

I have a wagon, but no tow bar so I can only take people and gear. Anyone got a van/ute/car and trailer?
I also MAY be able to provide accomodation on the southern side od the lake, aproxx 30 mins from taupo. However I wll need to arrange this so will need to plan reasonably soon.... Either that or book into backpackers in Taupo?

Input please guys....

Dont think we would be going anywhere near kune on the way up. Quicker to go desert road. If I stay at my place it is near Turangi anyway, so will def go desert road. If we go all the way to taupo your more then welcome to meet us at the Turangi intersection or something? Or though your only 30 minutes from Taupo by then so you might just want to carry on?

How does this sound. It would depend on how many you have coming but we have an empty house at the moment. You could come from Welly town to Napier. 3 of us are going from Napier to Taupo. It takes an hour to hour and 10 min from here. Petrol station in Bay View to fill before we head to Taupo.
We are 10 km North of the Taupo turn off on the Wairoa road.. No cell phone coverage but you can make free national calls to land lines from here if you need to. We can organise a feed and beds showers etc then leave for Taupo in the morning. No cost unless you break somethin. Bikes can be sheded. You could all go via the Desert road home?

Depends on how many people are coming up. We could accommodate 7 in beds and 3-4 in S/bags and stretchers. If you had that sort of number we would go back to town for a feed on Saterday night but if it is only three or four we could cook here.

Cool I would think 8.15am, leave, at the Bay View BP. PM me on Friday or Saturday to confirm time. Hour ten to get up there Fuel up down to track by 10 to start the day. It is about 130 k's to Taupo from Napier. Mr Policeman and his big lights in his flash car likes that road.
So we have 4 bikes, so far.

Fuck I hope not, I WILL not be beaten by a girl hehehehe [pt]

Hey, I'm urgently trying to sort accomodation out. It is for myself and VTWIN. I'm thinking a motel room is easiest, but I'll ask him and that house might be an idea? Is it still available?

Yep. First in get the beds the others the floor in bags. We are 18 km's from town. If it's only a few we will cook here but if it's many we can shoot in to town and pick up food. Read other post so you know where we are and what is planned. Be good to have a few stay. Will be a nice ride in the morning before we hit the track.
