Southern Rider Escapade 2010

[LittleAngel]

Hmmm, might have to see if I can rustle up some company for a chch-dunedin-chch weekend mission...

When were you thinking???? I'm keen to keep you and your lovely lady company! I'm sure, given enough time we could convince "them" others too

Hmmm... better register at some point soon then ???

Yep, better register first then come up with a cunning plan.

Sounds like some of them from down south were thinking of heading north for a catch up, so might be able to work something out to keep them company in one direction.

Don't hold your breath my entry, not going to be able to do it this year. Bit of a bugger after the adventure that was last years event.

I shall be entering tomorrow. Is there an Iron Arse award? My ride is looking a little like the following:

Friday: Picton - Nelson - West coast - Wanaka - Oamaru
Saturday: Oamaru - Christchurch - Dunedin (via Escapade Route) - Gore
Sunday: Rest the arse
Monday: Gore - West Coast - Picton

Anyone want to join? Will be going on 1st of October.

That is one quick trip.

But when do you do the Dunedin - Oamaru section of the escapade? It isn't the same route as the Oamaru - Dunedin section.

Hmm, I'll have to do some sort of criss cross pattern maybe

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

Due to the Earthquake and damage of roads and all that... We are extending the finishing date of Escapade 2010 till 18th of December 2010. That is an extra 2 weeks to complete the run and return the questions.

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

Hope that those that did the Escapade thise weekened enjoyed themself :-)

[Transalper]

Yep, overall J and I had a good trip down from Christchurch on Saturday apart from a foggy start and stayed in a motel in Dunedin then back up to Christchurch this morning.
The roads straight out of Dunedin this year were nice (and new to us) and counting all the rail crossings soon after.
The stuff leading in to Oamaru from along the coast is always nice too, done that several times now. Think it was the last escapade which showed us them for our first time too.
Cheers.
