    Leaving Ingill around 10.00am to meet up with Raewyn at Bryone 10.30 - 11.00 (my time)! Should be in Big River town an hour later. Will be stopping to pick others up along the way, as I understand it. NJ pm me your cell no. if you want to come along. Xaria and I will both have room in tents for you. Looking forward to it now it all seems to be happening from this end.

    OK, I might leave earlier to meet up with the main bunch leaving Timaru at 9. At least they will be heading back towards me so that will make things easier to find them.
    Come and ride the Southern Roads with us.

    Have fun girls!!


    Live your life in such a way,
    that when your feet hit the floor in the morning,

    Satan shudders & says....'Oh shit!....she's awake!!'

    What an awesome weekend. The weather treated us to many challenges, sideways down the road, wee bit of rain, some caught a major dust storm, only thing missing was lightening and hail I think! A very helpful guy flashed his lights to me indicating the presence of you know what. A joke I thought, as I was struggling to keep up to 80kph and upright! However it made the wine when I got there taste even better. After a couple more the nerves were settled and it was down to the Ranch to meet the other Tacky Tourists. What a crowd of the most unusually dressed people All having a great time and very friendly. After a wonderful meal we headed down town (!) to The Moose where a local band was playing and everyone took over the dance floor. Later on the courtesy coach took our weary bodies home, after dropping off some other bikers who had come from Dunners via the Nevis and Catlins. Apparently three seperate groups on bikes in Te Anau at the weekend. Had a much better ride home today, used only half the amount of petrol!
    Looking forward to the next run with these ladies. Would recommend it to anyone willing to get in and involved. Even meet some others from Ingill and surrounding areas.
    Thanks to the ladies from Timaru etc who organised this event. Looking forward to the next one, although if it is the North Island, while I like the idea, I can pretty much say I wont be able to go. Sadly too many other commitments for that distance. Will certainly pick up on the next one after that tho.

    sounds like a good time had by all, would be great if the next ride could be at the top of the south island, or in the middle somewhere! I agree, the north is too much for many, not just the distance but the cost of taking your bike there and bike is silly.

    I understand it usually goes higher in the Island then lower. Just a case of keeping eyes and ears open and catching it when you can get there. Well worth going to meet some awesome people.
