WankBankA100 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Do we want backup bikes? If Zac doesn't need my A100, I could bring that too. Road legal (ish). Unless you check the cc's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anglia4 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 We were going to poke the XL175 on one of the trailers. So between that and the monkey I'd say two spares will be plenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfalfa Posted November 14, 2023 Author Share Posted November 14, 2023 Hey riders, I've been through and updated the google maps links in the first post. I had some issues when I was opening them on my phone. Google maps insists on rerouting along highways wherever possible so I've fixed this with shitloads of intermediate waypoints. The same route should now appear when using desktop or mobile maps. Note that the Day 1 uses cycling mode as gmaps driving doesn't allow you across the Bertrand road bridge. I also had to split day 2 into 2 halves because google only allows 9 waypoints . Also Day 3 also finishes at the Bertrand road bridge for the same reason however we will obviously be continuing past there back to where we started. Updated links are in the first post and also below. Day 1 - New Plymouth to Taumaranui https://maps.app.goo.gl/xHZrKrMuJRRwFZfu9 Day 2 - Taumaranui to Pio Pio https://maps.app.goo.gl/gJE2dKd4EhQeVTeW7 Day 2 - Pio Pio to Awakino Pub https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZY83ypAUv3Q7NGn57 Day 3 - Awakino to New Plymouth https://maps.app.goo.gl/NfEvUgDpyMo2TW1AA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
