2011 South Island KB rally, Paretai, Lees Valley

[Daffyd]

I doubt I'll make the lunch ride, riding the length of the island will prolly be enough for me without the extra 400kms. Still... you never know.

[Genie]

OK...I hear ya....won't go quite so far for lunch....Pohara has this lovely little establishment....just forgot it's name...Penguin something, I'll ring them today. Pohara is five minutes out of Takaka and I now the way to that place.


8 days now....hehehehehehehehehehehe.

Makes sense to me.

And ya can't 'socialise' so well while on a 400km jaunt.

[SVboy]

yee ha , finally got leave for kb rally aproved!! taken whole week off . So looking forward to break away

Was that work leave or girlfriend leave approved ya big jessie!!

[Subike]

FARK.. thats a huge haul, I for one wont make it that far.. I thought we were looking at the mussle in just out of Takaka?
Cos other wise its up to 200k each way depending on the route, with a seedie head from Fri night? and I know Genie knows some awesome un populated roads we can take.

I have to agree that would be too far for me also, heck that two tanks of gas , not good for those who need to budget.

Just getting there will be a mission alone, recurring wrist pain does not do well for long continuous riding of a heavy bike.

[FJRider]

What is this PJ's thing ? At all the previous "KB Sleepovers" we have attend it was never required

Perhaps she is trying to encourage the senior members (who have a habit of revealing more ... in the mornings ... that should be not seen ...) so as not to scare the chickens ...

[Genie]

It may have some thing to do with this




so you'll be there early Friday then

[normajeane]

Well scummy and me are heading up the road on Thursday eleaving early and stopping in at Hamner Springs. We plan to meet the Christchurch rabble somewhere on the way, perhaps at Springs Junction on Friday morning then stop at ?Murchison for lunch and arrive at Camp KB mid afternoon! Well that is the plan at the mo! And we will have our pjs and wear them Quinton style!

[Genie]

Afternoon all....yes I am counting down the days. Must sort that trailer out too.

I've just rang a lovely lady in Pohara who has a fine establishment and let her know we'll be over for lunch around 1ish on the Saturday. Penguin Cafe...I even think there is a Penguin Colony just around the corner for those that wish to have an after-eating stroll.
