I am but I'm going to go the coast road and come back the inland route. Wanna spend some time riding with Oldrider. I think most are going the inland route. There's some talk about a meet up at 1.30 at Moraki township. Never knew it had one.

In the abscence of a meeting place for anyone intersted I'm going to fill up at Rolleston. I'm open to suggestions for a departure time if interested.

I was going to leave tonight, but I've decided to can that. Instead I'll be leaving in the morning. I'm leaving early and probably go down the coast (got some sight seeing I want to do!). Any takers for meeting at the Rolly petrol station at 6am? There is almost no traffic on the roads at that time.

argh, Im heading down tomorrow now, went to take off, achey, smelly and gritty eyed, gave the bike a look over, checked the oil and it's on the low (rode home so bike was warm), chain could do with a tighten too, so I'm gonna have some dinner, a nanna nap, head over to my olds, take care of the bike, then sleep for as long as possible and hook up with some folk tomorrow. and the fact I cant be fucked paragraphing makes it all the more obvious.

**Skyryder** · 12th December 2008, 16:45

Is this a sealed road into the camp? Just had a look on the map. Looks unsealed. Anyone know??

whats it mater... there will be road works somewere too.

**98tls** · 12th December 2008, 17:16

See you all tommorow eh.

**stevewederell** · 12th December 2008, 18:09

6am

are you nuts?! That would be like a work day!

Keen to join up with you Skyrider, might even have Dave if that time suits him. As far as roads go I think it's sealed from the north, if not I'll just be even more of a nana.

Haven't heard back from Retro' so maybe she managed to shoot through today?

Time to finish off this packing, still got half a bloody sticker on my light from the Magpie!

Safe travels all, looking forward to meeting a bunch more people

**FlyingDutchMan** · 12th December 2008, 18:50

6am? Early? Wot ya talking about? Besides I only get up at 7 on a work day. Anyway, here is google's street view of the rally site from the danseys pass rd (and as you can see it is sealed from the Duntroon side).
