Need a local "guide" for Auckland area

**klingon** · 20th April 2009, 17:21

My Volty knows the way to Tuakau and it also knows the way to all the bike accessory shops in Auckland - Cycletreads, Motomail, etc etc.

The Volty will be free for Escort Duty on Thursday, but not on Wednesday. Of course, if they take the Hamilton suggestion (which I think is a very good one) all this will be made redundant.

Don't forget to have dinner in Kaiaua Fisheries

They could do their journey like a relay and have a different guide for each leg of the journey. The Volty and I would be good guides for the Shopping In Auckland stage (although they might get just a little bit bored if I also do the Where Is Tuakau? stage, as the Volty is a slow-and-steady kind of ride).

Then after the shopping I could pass them (like a batten) on to the next person who could guide them to the beginning of their Coro Route stage.

By the way, is one of these visitors male and the other female? If so, I strongly recommend one escort of each gender for the shopping stage as men and women have different shopping "needs" and us girls will get really frustrated with the boys trying to hurry us along.

A certain gijoe1313 is on holiday this week, though they may end up doing more mileage than anticipated - mind you they may get to Wellington a lot sooner...

Send him a PM!

He knows everywhere and all the good stores.
