Waiouru Adventure Ride (WAR) 2011

[.chris]

Looks like I might have to bail on this ride. Damn social engagements.

I have my partners work Xmas party on the friday night, which means I would have to stick around Auckland friday night, and after that I would need a hella early start to get to Waiouru intime for the morning briefing, and after 400km on the road I will be too knackered to enjoy the ride to its full potential. And I have a good mates 40th on the Saturday night.

So I shall bow-out and let some other lucky bugger take my spot.

Thanks heaps for organising this again Buggs, last time it was bloody excellent.

Thats too bad Chris...looks like I'll be the lone 690 entry least the odds are pretty even 1 against 16

Ya never know, I think timing for us all at that time of the year is going to be tight...so I'm going to lurk and see if my timing, others pull out, the reserve list changes.

We Can't have just one 690 there, even though NF is correct on the chase ratio...might as well cement a classic KTM podium finish

DNF? That's harsh

[vegeman]

DNF? That's harsh

you might be right! looks like the DNF turns into a DNS...ie did not start...the shame,

I'm a veg... as I think that weekend is when my boy turns 10, so I guess I better be a good Dad and be there...

10 years old is a milestone; you need to be there for your sons first brand new KTM 125....or are you taking him to McD's instead?

Okey dokeys, a couple of guys have dropped off so far, so Offrd you've got your spot if you're keen, PM sent. Still take a couple of others if anyone is interested.

Awaiting room costs, but I made a cock up telling you it was under $10 - it was a bit over $30 per room last time, sorry about that, so let me know if this is a problem for anyone.

Cheers, Buggs

mate $30.00 is a bargin. Barring any last minute disasters the 950 and 690 boys a eager and good to go one thing though; I'm running an E07 on the front which is pretty good but do you think a more aggressive knobby front is called for?

[buggsubique]

An aggressive front will likely serve you well, esp if wet but im only going to run a D605 front and e07 rear...bit slippery but manageable. It can be as hard or easy as we want it to be really. I dont think we'll be full on trail riding tho...unless its dry.

Bit late getting clearance on this one.
But keen if theres any spaces left...
Not that it matters too much, or not at all if all the spaces have gone, but accomodation is for Saturday only? - or Friday night accom available as well?
Hoping to cruise up on Friday afternoon...hoping

I'll be interested in the fri accomodation
Was going to stay in welly with my son but he will be away and I'll just get lonely there all by myself.
Will probably get an earlier crossing and head straight up.
