    Queenstown Rally

    Guys and Girls, Who would be keen to meet up in Queenstown some time late Feb early March. I have access to some land for camping 5 minutes from Queenstown for those who can't afford the arm up your back Queenstown accomodation. Was thinking we could hang out for 2 days or so and explore the local rides. Fantastic adventure rides and road rides nearby. If we got enough numbers we could organise entertainment and food etc. Just getting feedback from you guys before I put my "lets do it " hat on.

    Regards
    Mick

    I'm in Mick. Some awesome rides down there both road and dirt. Great scenery too, and the mountain and lakes don't look too bad either. Miles

    Hi Mick,
    good to catch up in Chch on Saturday, and as discussed depending on dates, I'd be keen as.
    Would this be likely to be an extended weekend or a weekday trip ?

    Sounds like a good idea to me - and one for all KB'ers regardless of bikes as there are plenty of options for day trips no matter what you ride.
    Probably need to stay clear of the March Hare although if it came down to a choice I'd go to Queenstown as the riding is better!!

    What facilities are there likely to be at this site? - loos etc, especially for any lady bikers

    It probably won't work in with the Passes ride which finishes in ChCh on Feb 15th but that might be a good thing - we'll need a few days to recover.
