Hmmmmmmm, I'm racing the 650 the following weekend but if its soft adventure the motard wheel might stay in to entertain you all! I'm in!

So it's not the route with the stock track just past Duvauchelles? If so,thank god cos I hate hill climbs!

Na, not planing to go on any technical stuff... but some of the shingle roads are steepish in places.

You think that (Robinsons bay stock track) you should try the Takamatua Stock track when it is wet. Slick clay with fist sized lumps of loose rock and some lumpy bedrock. Took Bro and I three hours to do 2km couple of winters back

Mrs B. says no, 'cos she is off overseas for work the next day and is worried she might have an off. That being so, I'll probably go and do my normal Saturday thing. Have fun guys.

Cheers

Oi! Not good enuf. Hoping to be there with QOT Hobbits for a cruzy ride if it's a nice day. A Transalp convoy would have been cool

Hi TA,
This still on

? might need some time out by then

Cheers, Crim

Seems like a good way to take the mind off things and unwind, to concentrate on riding for a while instead.

I'm still in.

**cynna** · 7th September 2010, 11:24

sweet - i will be there as well

**Peril** · 7th September 2010, 18:34

Good stuff,it'd be a good way to see the damage up in the hills.

**Peeteey** · 7th September 2010, 22:10

Yep, reckon I might be too. So long as I can hide in the middle of the group because my REG is so unbelievably legal at the moment I don't want to dazzle people with it's complete and utter compliance

Hey Brent, if you are going in motard guise then I might as well too! Gravel roads mentioned by TA aren't that rough

Here's a .GPX file for the GPS peps.
It's my intended route but will be subject to conditions/time on the day as to weather we get the whole thing done.

Lighthouse Rd is closed so Akaroa is as far as we'll go, not Flea Bay.
