Likewise I may join up at Autobahn, but plan to push on to Wellington Monday evening. I'll stay the night at my cousin's place then join up at the Wellington starting point on Tuesday.

If I can ride Auckland to Wellington, cross to Picton and then carry on riding to Christchurch all in one day then I can't see why Auckland to Wellington would be a problem on the Monday.

I emailed both Breakfast and Good morning asking if they plan to cover this pre event, no reply from them as yet .... maybe they (and other media) need to be unindated with emails asking the same thing for them to sit up and cover this event.

I also emailed BP and asked them if they would consider subsidised prices for fuel for the participants in the event ..... worth a shot LOL and might save us a couple dollars.

as in my earlier post and I have emailed Bronz, bikersagainstacc and ulysses that the Feilding motor camp is offering accomodation for the 16th and maybe the 17th if needed for $20 a head sharing the cabins etc.

Compliments to the companies that have offered discounts for us and their support.

I'm a starter though I will probably get to Paramata on Sunday and catch up with the rest on their way through on the Tuesday. What plans for the return trip? I may ride with the main group back to Rotorua.

Bring it on.

Now you'd better give someone your mobile number and tell them to call you bright & early Monday morning... after all that work you'll be exhausted and might just sleep in!

I'll be catching you all up at Palmy - can't really afford to take 3 days off so me and a mate will be riding the first leg straight from work Monday evening.

When I called the lady at Gateway motel in Palmy I thought I might have left it too late, but she said only about 20 takers so far... Hopefully there's a whole bunch leaving it to the last minute?

You can lead a horse mate is all...I really hope that she gets a full house. She is the most amazing supporter of what we are doing.
