Hi Nic. Na, your hard core, after all you've broken a bone ADV riding after all

After seeing the GS650(name long forgotten, sorry) rider do a slippery Fishers on roadish tyres would reccommend some sort of knobby tyre tho (T63, E09's like) Just read the first post, yeah, nothing difficult on Sat.

I dont want to hold people up too much though - or break any bones!

Definitely do the Saturday, Mark lays out a great series of backroads. If you're unsure about the Sunday just see what the weather does, if it's dryish give it a go for sure, if it's been wet it might be a bit of a mission.

Mum has gone & planned a family lunch on the Saturday so I might miss that days riding, will probably head down that afternoon in time for the beer & BS then join in on the Sunday.

Cheers
Clint

If anyone wants a place to stay on the Friday night I have beds/mattresses at my bach in Kawhia.

It's about 50k out of Otrohonga.

Well done

Is there going to be a test who can spell it before you're allowed to come along? with a bit of luck I should be able to do this ride. I really need a clean run through the traverse..and I know.... hang right on Fisher's track...but not too much.

I haven't been out much for far too long.

Be good to see you again Alex.

Mark (MXNut) - the calender has auto added me as an entrant. Still a (fairly) definite maybe at this stage.
