sentra Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 This weekend - Myself, @Tumeke @slacker.cam and @peteretep are in Christchurch from 7am Friday and going to get some use out of our bikes that we shipped down for molesworth...... Plan is to do a day adventure and then stay in chch on friday night (victoria st) I think there is a general understanding to have din dins with EJ and Ant. Saturday head out around the Banks peninsular - stay in Akaroa - more adventuring Sunday and back in the afternoon to Wainoni to pack the bikes onto the pallets, dinner and fly home that night. Beyond the above, there is no formal plan, however it would be great to see some people down there and if anyone wanted to come on any part of this adventure or have some beers/lunches/dinners along the way would be awesome. my numbers 021 774037 - anyone & everyone invited to all aspects. Entry cost is 1 smile. Bring togs. -David J 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mof Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 Have you got a route planned? Would you like some suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 I think general idea was Friday to do lees valley road onto okuku road, Then saturday/sunday head out to Akaroa doing a big loop around the edges to birdlings flat. Sound reasonable? Any tips? I have the least range with about 160km including an extra 5L tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentra Posted April 12 Author Report Share Posted April 12 we may need to collect a bike motor from hogans place on Englefield road and bring it back to the plant yard to join the homeward pallet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mof Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Lees valley is good I'm sure you got it sussed Used to be able to go all the way down kaitorete spit and do a full circuit of lake ellesmere, as long as some farmer hasn't locked a gate.

yetchh Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 It was locked from the end of the paper road when I was there a month ago.. Also, might have to push your bikes for a bit of you do the Bossu Rd to Birdlings flat.. The gravel is fairly enveloping. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the fact that I can't take time from the castle at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
