20/09/08 - Arthurs Pass Ride

[AndyOnTheFlyingBrick]

Hey everyone

I am planning a ride this Saturday to Arthurs Pass. The route will go as follows

Christchurch => Arthurs Pass => Greymouth => Reefton => Victoria National Park => Christchurch

I think that easy rider has already expressed an interest in coming so I thought I would extend the invite to everyone.

It will be a relaxed ride as I like to take in the sights.

If anyone is interested then we can discuss details for stops and stuff here.

Leaving: Saturday 7.30am
Returning: Saturday Evening
Distance: 661km
Ride time: 8 hours 42 minutes (+ sheduled stops)
Starting Point: departing from the Yaldhurst/Russley road intersection garag

It'd make it easy... but if you get that far, keep going... the roads after that... well, the ZXR will eat them up

It's not a matter of if the ZXR will make it, more like will your arse take it

Turn off at Jacksons and you will save about 120K's and you can wait and get a rest while they ride around and get some of the numbness out of your arse and clear your head as you will have about an hour and a half rest to have a good lunch.

Yes indeed, there is a remote possibility I could be in for that, maybe rejoining at Reefton.
Already set for a bit of a night adventure Saturday night so may still save myself and my gas for that.

Cool cool! Depending on the day and how numb my ass it we can alter the route to suit people etc.
