    South Island trip late Feb

    I have decided to tour the south again at the end of Feb for 2 weeks and was wondering if anyone wanted to come with.
    Leaving from Aucks and spending most of the time in the south.
    Accom will be at backpackers.
    So if anyone interested in tagging along send me a message.

    Could be interested in keeping you company for a stretch. I have been wanting to undergo a trip like this myself.

    I have been meaning to hit that way as well, Although I might do it next summer when and if I have finally upgraded.

    End of Feb sees several aucklanders heading down to Dunedin for the TT2000, so there will be a few bikes around, depending on where in the south island you'll be.

    You do realise this is not going to put him off. It will just arouse his, and many other's, curiousity. Now they'll be coming down in droves. I could head off a few as they come down Gentle Annie Hill and detour them

    Yes, please do. As Gremlin says, there'll be enough North Islanders down here already. TT2000, then a week later the Southern Cross starting in Bluff. The roads will be absolutely crowded, and there will hardly be any room in either of the pubs.
    Time to ride

    but what if they sneak off down the Kaikoura way, that is the most delicious bit of road and the scenery is spectacular. But, sssshhhh, don't tell anyone.
