Kaipara 200 Kiwi Rider ADV Ride

[Shewolf]

If anyone needs a bed, comfy couch or less comfy floor let me know. I have a couple of doubles, a single and a couple of couches.

There's also grass and a kennel if you prefer the great outdoors

That would be great, but they need to let all and sundry know if it is a go....I am definitely keen to camp out for the night there, good spot too.

You won't find out here....you'll have to go over to the 'other side', where all the cool people who know someone overseas hang out.

Soon as I talk to Vege I'll let you know. He's been away a few days and I have been on a mission too.

So the ride is about 320km long... Is there a fuel stop?

Yeah - it 'zigs and zags' around the north of Akl. Several fuel ops.

That's $0.50c per km

Jut think of it as road users then, but with more fun and you don't have to buy food!

Talk about 'trickle feed' of infomation! Should be renamed the 'Kaipara mystery adventure' perhaps ?

[Waihou Thumper]

I think it is a little poor that less than three-four weeks away and at $160, there isn't enough information.

No, it's expected that all adv bikes do 320km's on a tank

We could have a "Kaipara Whingers Ride", specially for you if ya like...

Some do!

Easy to ASK since information is like rocking horse poo...

Arse to turn up and find that you needed to sort your own fuel drop points.

[Big Dave]

OK - What else do you need to know?

There's a ride on Nov 12th. It will be professionally planned and scouted to suit a variety of AVD bikes.
Route sheets will be available.
It covers a lot of the Kaipara district on the best ADV roads available therein.
It starts from the advertised location.
Ride Briefing Time is TBA - but it will be in the morning of the ride - it's not a race. I'd say around 9. It's only a day ride.
It includes pretty much everything - lunch, dinner, access fees, route sheets.
I think camping on site is OK, pretty sure in fact - but will try and confirm on Monday.
I'll also try to confirm what the Pillion age is.
It's still over a month away.

Disappointed I won't be going but I'm now in Brisbane and don't have as regular contact with the office as previous. Otherwise it would be easier to check.

Add to the list so I can get it all when I touch base

[Waihou Thumper]

Actually, I can spend the same on the entry fee and ride all weekend.. No route sheets, just use my GPS logs of years gone by....All good. have a good ride Gents....
