Minginui - Matawai - Motu Midwinter Madness Ride 2-3 July 2011

[nic]

I'm very most likely in - and will be of a Warm Team persuasion for Saturday.

[uksteve]

Keen to come along on the SXC625................Are the Auckland guys meeting up for the ride down?

[Howie]

I mean if you're not a skilled rider you need a light bike & grippy knobs. Anyone with moderate riding ability on something like a DR or KLR with 1/2way decent tyres will be ok,

Thanks for the reply, Think I'll leave the call on being warm, or cool to closer to the time.

Count another banned KBer in your numbers clint

Anyone got a late model KTM530 or 610 Husky etc to sell as this guy is looking to buy, NOW

neither of them have a honda badge,but good to see you looking towards the dark side

'The banned KBer' is not me just giving Clint a heads up for numbers as the above can't post at the mo........

Plus i'm waiting for the 690 Adventure SE......

If you don’t fancy a chilly night at the Rangitaiki Tavern, followed by an obscenely early start to ride over muddy goat tracks and through freezing cold streams, then Team Warm may be for you.

By joining Team Warm you will be still be able to enjoy the scenic Waikaremoana and Motu roads, and may even enjoy them more because you won’t be trying to defrost from early morning stream crossings 900m above sea level.

Fellow Team members are welcome to meet us at the Minginui Rd turnoff on the Saturday morning, but for the full Warm experience, come stay in Rotorua on Friday night, and join the rest of the Team for dinner and a few drinks. We’ll meet up again on Saturday morning, and head off for the lukewarm rendezvous with the Cool Team.

Let me know if you are thinking of joining us in Rotorua, and we can start to come up with a plan.

[Steelie]

Your doing a good sell on that option Rosie. Could be the go. Would make a nice relaxing Friday / night.

[Shewolf]

I'm a starter for the warm option from Rotovegas

[jafar]

I could be in , probably the warm team, it is dependant on work @ this stage though

What do we need to bring in the way of tents, sleeping bags, etc ???

Whatever you like, you need to book your own accomodation at Rangitaiki/Wherever & Matawai, see 1st post.

Cheers

Are you wearing black or orange that weekend?

By the way, I'm in, plus dragging along 1 extra (non KBer). Cool.

Bloody hell Clint....why must you always wait till I'm in Orstralia before running this ride?
What have I ever done to you...........

Good stuff, I think the KTM would be overkill for Wade, based on the way that KLR was going down on the last 'Naki ride. (when it was going )

Um, cos you always go to Oz over winter? We're planning to be in Oz next winter so for 2012 we'll have another MMMMM in WA just for you, your job is to locate 3 suitable M's to ride between

Cheers

I'm in, unless I'm threatened with immediate dismissal from my job of course. I'm dead keen on the "wet", I reckon the TTR250 with T63's should hang in there....I should manage with only a small amount of tears. If the weather is really shit I'll go soft and join the shameful "warm" team, I'll decide closer to the time. I'll be sleepin' in my Hennessey hammock somewhere close to the start point, so I'll have to carry a bit of gear throughout...lucky I have the best NZ adventure bike ever built.
