If I can get my bike up and back I could wrangle this I reckon. Pellets looked like a good option from the Auckland crew. I wonder if @ThePog will be ready by then. Front end disc conversion started yesterday on the NBC110...

I'd kinda pondered over a route that would let us do that, but unless we upped the daily ride time significantly, and cut down the leisure time, it'd be a 4 day-er I think

So… 4 days?
