  1. I see judging goes on at 145, does the event carry on after that?
  2. Yep - plus loose gravel with serious drop offs in places. Coldest place is likely to be over Island Pass on the Rainbow - it's 1370m... https://www.dangerousroads.org/australia-and-oceania/new-zealand/4191-island-saddle.html
  3. It looks like I'll be doing a Rainbow recce the weekend before too so should be able to do a conditions update, going through with a group of mates who have old ford escapes/mazda tributes...
  4. Good to see it's starting to work out, should be a walk on the park compared to your expertise!
  5. @avengertigerI'm not sure if any of this number are your crew?
  6. A 400 maybe cheating (but no more than my 250!) it will be good to have you on the team.
  7. He's actually looking at refining it this year, I'm encouraging him to document it so that others could follow the recipe if they were interested. To be honest the technology curriculum is set up for prototyping rather than making a final polished product. He's also making the CNC plasma I mentioned in @ThePogs thread.
  8. If that's OK I'd definitely like to organise it ASAP. There will probably be some hard core fan boi-ing as they don't get a real engineer for a teacher! I'll figure out how many students have vehicles etc. and be in touch.
  9. That would be amazing! Let me know how you get on.
  10. We've got a student making us a full sheet cnc plasma this year based around a regular boc handset and running Linux CNC so I might have to be in touch...
  11. It looks like there has been ~500 views of my Google map for each day. Possibly a lot of foam, but also this could be quite the large event. I'm intrigued to find out the number of actual entries too. @DoBro Jesusidea of the Maitai is a goodie. And probably where I would recommend. @RUNAMUCK where are you staying in Blenheim you tease?
  12. Good idea - we'll try and get a hustle going by telling everyone it's going to be first in first served...our major limitation to be honest is space for gear in support vehicles.
  13. Yeah I'm in Richmond, definitely a bit closer than Renwick. I'll be in touch closer to the time to get it sorted.
  14. Hopefully @avengertiger will have space, but when are you planning on heading down/coming back?
  15. Day one is not technical at all, but still ~200km. A regular 50 should easily do it in 5 hours riding time. Having not done anything similar I'm not sure on the timing, but I reckon you're on the right track.
  16. Is there anyone heading down via Nelson with a trailer? As capable as the bike is I'd be happier trailering down on Thurs afternoon/night and back to town on Sunday night in a perfect world. I'd also be happy for the bike to travel down/back with a GC, and I'll drive down after work on a Thurs/back Sunday. It's not quite as simple for teachers to take annual leave as regular folk. I'll get Bart to write a note to my boss otherwise...
  17. Not at all, I'll be on the WR250R which is cheating heaps. But happy to be bullied for being a slow boomer.
  18. I'm pretty sure it's privately owned so DOC don't have a say. Their Facebook page looks like it's days or weeks rather than months until it reopens.
  19. It's right where you left it, so you're welcome.
  20. Oh my, this makes me swoon. Those drive by videos sound epic too, huge congratulations, 100% worth the time and $ invested.
  21. The trail is probably in worse condition now - but obviously doable.
  22. https://www.marlboroughonline.co.nz/marlborough/information/commentary/the-road-to-nowhere/ An article on the road up Mt Patriach.
  23. We're doing ~200km a day, the Maungatapu would be a little exciting on 10/12" wheels (especially with road tyres), but should be doable. If we can't get 4x4 support through there then I will play tail end Charlie to make sure everyone makes it through.
