Beaver Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 Keen to get dirty again. Also wouldn't mind getting some mud and dust from the road. Gigidy. 2 1 Quote
tortron Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 Oh that looks like a good ride I will look into it Say hi to the aunty's for me Cheers Quote
Willdat? Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 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... 5 Quote

TimShadboltfan27 Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 Hey yeah tentatively registering my cheese for the greatest event ever. May even dust off the two stroke for old times sake. Can i be that hardout adventure bro that suggests why not Waikaremoana AND East Cape ? 4 Quote
johnnyfive Posted June 9, 2022 Author Posted June 9, 2022 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 Quote
