Yeah, we permitted a Northie to join us last year, so I guess that the precedent has been set. The only requirement is that you must drink more incahol than Scummy, and spit cherry pips further than RM.

Has a date been set for this year, I want to go to the NI coast to coast this year! (very nostalgic area for me)

Couldn't go last year because the only two events I "really" wanted to go to were on the same bloody weekend!

So I hope that doesn't happen again this year!

get my vote.

Staging post sounds great and would be my preference as it is time for a "north of centre" gathering. But Otematata was excellent and there is the possibility of overflow accommodation in the town and the ride to Mt Cook was primo.

Less keen on the other places where they are more public (get chased by too many girls !!) <- your turn Anthony.

Sure the Staging Post is not far from Chch but nothing to stop people riding out to greet those coming from further afield. Getting there via Culverden - Waiau - Kaikoura (or more directly thru the Leder) would be a viable alternative. There might be some good rides around the area also.

Very cool!! I think that is the fairest idea.. with having the venue "north" or "south" of the centre.. alternately each year!!!

SO each year the closer living group can go tickey touring to GET to the venue & the further away group, get to go on an awesome decent tour!!! & visa versa for the next years venue!!

Please can we set a CUTOFF time limit for destination decision making!!! coz we will NEED to BOOK The Staging Post ASAP.. to get in.. before someone else snaffles it up & we miss out!!

even a week from today say.. that then also gives everyone 6 MONTHS to plan & book ahead time that may be needed off work (the Fri & Mon for some)

There is no point moaning about 'distances (too far/close) or straight roads' etcetc either people..

as we are never going to find the PERFECT venue that will be absolutely 100% PERFECT for EVERYone

So if ya gunna have a long or short or boring ride & ya don't like it.. tough shit!!

& if ya gunna whinge about it.. DON'T COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

coz the rest of us are gunna be toooooo damn happy & enjoying ourselves!!!!!!!

I can't believe Otematata is leading the pack again. Surely a new venue each year has added interest. And Jantar, why is there 2 separate votes for Staging Post?? Do we add the 2 %'s together???
