From the naki we have to go the long way round to avoid the level 3 border. Will be staying in Ohope on Thursday night.

Update on the closed road sounds good for us

Ihungia Road

3.5km mark

Closed

Significant slip - only open to 4x4 and light vehicles. Closed to heavy vehicles.

[tortron]

Aww fuck, I can't believe you've done this

 

 

 

Probably no change, lockdown is for Auckland only

[johnnyfive]

Riiiiight

[tortron]

On the upside, if its everywhere Auckland can come. Churrrrr

[datlow]

I’ve taken great pride in being the custodian of 2020’s “yeah nice” trophy. I’ll be returning it at this year’s ride - presumably up for grabs again, for a worthy participant…. Personally I’d like to see someone do a backflip. On their bike. Into lake waikerimoana.

Maybe a backflip over one of these badboys? 

[johnnyfive]

Your best bet for Waikaremoana Lake backflip, is day 2 where we will be passing within 40km of it

Have edited 1st post to reflect another entry and a couple withdrawls.

I believe current number of bike entrants sits at 39. Obviously this number could change for reasons out of everyones control, I'm sorry for those of you who cannot attend. Heck, we might all have to stay at home, at this point I intend to proceed with caution. And continue with the ride, untill there is something that says otherwise. 

Still working on getting an email out with pre ride info etc. And knocking up some form of turn by turn directions to have stashed in your pocket.

Apologies if you recieve an email and you cannot attend, it was not my intention to retraumatize you.

This is not what I needed today

[GuyWithAviators]

Anyway in Lifan news. Got this rig back last night.

New @Geophyspec exhaust, hopefully doesn’t fall off like last year. Tried to test ride this morning with @MopedNZ& @Kassbut the front fell off which wasn’t typical. 
 

So did a refresh over winter today and she’s ready to go. New suspension and wheels front and rear, disc brake, new carb and intake set up. Roll on Friday.
