I was also thinking about that Yamaha safari - keep in touch on that one. Its rides like this that prompted my bike change.Originally Posted by Crisis management
When do you have to register for that ride by?
Can anyone please tell me what the season opening dates are for the Molesworth and Rainbow roads. Cheers

Would there be any interest in doing it in early November? - contemplating a trip then ending up in Whangarei for a NZGA conference. Could maybe meet up at Hamner and then ride the rainbow together on way back up to Nelson??

I could be in so long as it doesn't clash with the southern DB1k.

I'm certainly interested in the idea mooted by Nordie Boy and commented on by Padmei and other Top of the South folks - ciao Aslan

Where's the ride?
Ryan (i think) started a thread on this, with the latest updates 'cos it has changed a bit recently.

early november and feb would be good, they are 3 4 months apart
I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........
I aint bovvered
Molesworth & Rainbow are just a good days ride out for Tots riders. No real need to organise rides for it - just post up a week or two before anyone wants to ride it & there'll be someone ready to join ya. There's always traffic through in Summer so it's not really like being in Mongolia.
Maybe we Nelsonites can get together for a ride (or blow someones bike up at shed nite) sometime & talk about options.
Growing Old Disgracefully
Think that 3 day option would be the best for us Northerners and weather is likely to be better in Feb.
Here for a good time, not necessarily a long time
Not so crazy ....
The only problem with an early run thru Rainbow/Molesworth is gaining access before they officially open the road for the summer season. Usually it opens between Xmas and New Year which counts out early December unless someone can arrange a key for the gates.

Ya what!!!
Both the Rainbow and the Molesworth open on the 28th December now (Rainbow use to open early Dec). You can get access to the Rainbow before this if you arrange the key but never tried to get access to the Molesworth early/late.
I reckon if you are going to do this as a 2 or 3 day tour you should drop the Murch south section and loop from Murch (still do Porika/Breaburn) back north to Golden Bay.

Yep. Would make it a lot more relaxed over in The Bay and probably get to Mangarakau in time to overnight at the old schoolhouse (just have to make sure we can book it) and 100m back up the road to the Nugget Cafe for dinner...

I am also keen for a two or maybe a three day ride. Waitangi day is a Friday (5.2.10?) so that would be a good time to have it to save a days leave.

Correct me if I'm wrong but as the 6/2/10 i.e. Waitangi Day is on a Saturday this year we don't get a day off i.e. no long weekend. All my searching suggest this is the case but I'm hoping I'm wrong.
