    Tri boy, I do not know yet whether I will be on this ride or not, I have some major domestic problems with a wife who has just left me. I really want to be on it, all depends on whether I still have a bike at that stage!!

    Y1, sorry to hear this and a few of us know what you'll likely be going through.

    If it helps, I'll buy your bike for $1 but you can then borrow it for as long as you want

    Catch up with you sooner or later

    Garry

    Gingerbiker is keen and so am I.... Brent?

    later,
    I'm planning to do this trip 'round then too; as a 'shake down' for something big I am embarking on later in '08. I want to get thru there before the Molesworth road closes for the fire season. Keep me in the loop please for this.
    The Waikato weekend- I hope to do this one, sounds good!
    My sympathys Y1, not a good time.

    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Will keep you in the loop, We were planning on timing the SI passes ride with a wee gravel tour of the south island involving camping and so on....

    Triboy, I guess you ain't gonna bother doing the calendar thingy... are you?



    later,
    Windboy.

    Nov 30-Dec 2. Ride is adaptable to numbers, so its no sweat if theres 15 or two on it. I think it falls on the same weekend as a northern coast ride, so I'm not expecting big numbers.

    you may be surprised

    Just back from a ride with crisis and he sounded keen and so am I. Nick's not 100% sure as may conflict with his trip to chch.

    later,

    BTW: Tried crisis's DR and was pleasantly impressed, dirt hooning machine I reckon...!

    To clarify Friday 30 November people will meet and stay at Awakino Pub. Saturday ride north ending up with a night at Raglan?
    Sunday people take the various options for routes home?
    Where are people planning on staying in Raglan?

    Awakino, and the Raglan Sunset Motel are the accom points.
    Please check the calender thread, and contact the Hotels to book your rooms.(mention the adv bike riders)
    Leaving it too late may mean a quick hunt for accom in Raglan, but its very limited in Awakino.
    On another note, I'm finding more interesting roads, so hopefully riders won't have to travel well known routes.
    Will finalise the specific Sat ride once numbers/original locations are factored in.

    UPDATE ON ACCOM.
    We have booked the Awakino Hotel for Fri night. 06 7529815.
    The Raglan Sunset Motel is now our Sat night Accom. 078250050.(the Raglan pub is booked out)
    Please list your attendance in the calender thread. Numbers are limited to approx 15.
    Accom costs to be finalised, but work off approx $70 per head per night, not including meals.
