See you there Skyrider. PM me you cell number if you have it just in case my baby craps out.

Dave - join us if the time suits. I have your cell so I'll let you know the story.

sounds good, I'm all packed and ready, put on gear, start bike and go really, knowing my luck id wake at 6am and be waiting for a few hours to get going...

I'd like to go while the roads are clear and the air is chrisp.

Thanks to the guys who organised this & who put on the tucker. Neat venue & a great way to catch up with so many KiwiBikers.
I only made it for the Sat night but still had a very convivial time. The ride there & back via gravel wasn't too bad either.
Pics are in the Haka, on the way home
1) Tim & Debs on the well set up Transalp
2) Dangerous making a splash (or trying to induce labour??)

that was great!

thanks to everyone who organised, thanks to stevewederell and ghost for the grub (and the others who also sported sausages etc)

I trust everyone got home alright, the ride through to waimate was awesome, and I was utterly destroyed by ashburton, stopped at the domain had a slash, an apple and a nap under the trees....poor ashburtoners must've had a fit!

my photos aren't too bad, there's just a couple I'd like to share

the swimming lamb, the grub and the line up outside hut 7 (aptly named the single young mens hut)

what goes on tour stays on tour?

edit: the shitty fuckin vBulletin photo upload is shit and wasted 5 minutes uploading only to inform me it'd failed...and now the img tags aren't working....

[cold comfort]

Once again an excellent weekend. Many thanks to all involved in the planning and execution (Shrek, XKnuts etc) .Also to Xaria and Nighthawk for the luggage delivery. For me a greater emphasis on the social side this time, and in that, a privilege to get to know a number of you.
The pics are coming thru and producing great mirth here. My daughter was stunned on the resemblance Shrek! " You do hang out with some unusual people Dad!" Looking forward to the next- i'm hooked!
