The long awaited files have arrived.
Day 1 and 3 same as most previous years. Day 2 down south looks like it will cover some spectacular territory.
They haven't skimped on waypoints. Some of those files may be too big for some.
What sort of track is the Piano flat challenge section? Do-able on a R100GS?
Definitely not doing the Awakino challenge this year as the zigzag will be a killer/nigh on impossible without a team of willing pushers.
I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........
I would say it is do-able at the moment as its very dry. I went though last weekend on a DR650 with TKC80 on. Had to pre walk three spots to find a good line, and only needed a hand once (my mistake) other wise the rest is no problem.
Will be others around to help out anyway
Looks awesome! Getting excited now
Fitted new tyres and front brake pads today.
I think I'm gonna split the GPX into three different files. One for each day with only that days tracks showing. That'll avoid having to zoom in and out and scroll around to check which bits are included in the current day. I'm using Backcountry Navigator (android app) and one thing it doesn't do that well is display the track names clearly.
New tyres and brakes for me too. Weather looks like it may be a bit damp, but at least it will keep the dust down. Hopefully the rivers won't be too high as the beemer isn't that shithot in deep water. Fortunately very easy to undrown. See you there.
Cheers for that, may just give it a go then.

So I've seen the route now, does look pretty good.
Going to be interesting trying to remember which segment your on and which comes next on the gps though. I'd stitch it together slightly differently to save some stopping but then that seems to be a thing with me, I like my way.

Yeah might have to stay east on the way down though to dodge the rain. Was hoping to go through rainbow on Wednesday. Let's see...
