No

Maybe.

I knew you were heading down the West Coast for a bit but I didnt know what time and when.

I decided on a route about 5 minutes before posting that post after studying Google Maps for 10 minutes. I was going to go down the West Coast and stay in Haast but I couldnt be farked doing a long hard day in the Saddle doing Christchurch to Haast.

First camp site I come across in the morning probably.

Hi guys, good to see so many heading down our way! hopefully the weather will stop what it is doing now and clean up its act!
A few other things going on in the week leading to the weekend if you are thinking of heading down a bit earlier.

On the wednesday and thursday (25th 26th) Honda riders club are having a rider training day at teretonga featuring Aaron Slight, Craig Sherriffs and Hayden Fitzgerald. Everyone is welcome. It has a road bike focus on the wednesday and race focus on the thursday. We are on the track from 9am till 5pm both days so there is pleanty of kms to be done on the worlds southernmost FIA circuit. It is one of the best in the country, nice smooth grippy surface, lots of run off and one of the biggest corners in the country, it is awesome! Anyone who has been to an HRC training day knows how fun they are! for more details ring or email rob on 07 3774215 or rob@hrcnz.co.nz, places will fill up fast!

On the wednesday night, we (Southland Honda) are having a pickle and onion night at the shop (77 Clyde street). This will entail food and drinks supplied (god what have we got ourselves into!) and will just be a bit of a get together and a place to hang out, probably from 5pm to 10pm depending on how we go! We also have a Honda powered one wheeler for you to come and try out, should be a blast! There is rumour of a lemon tree to pee on as well!

The thursday night will feature "A night with Aaron Slight and Andrew Stroud" at the Ascot Park Hotel. Tickets are $40 and are available at Southland Honda and Insite at the museum. Basically it is Aaron and Andrew having a chat about their life and carreers in racing at home and abroad, it should be a very interesting night. Supper is provided.

I don't even need to go into the displays that E Hayes and sons have, which feature the original indian etc, you can't miss them if you come down! The shop alone takes all day to get around if you like hardware stores with history!

I tell you this thing is not only a weekend now, it is turing into speed week! It is starting to become a very large event and is well worth attending.
I hope to see alot of you down here! I will be racing at Tereronga, CBR600 number 7, come and have a chat!

Thanks
Jeremy
