That looks very leisurely to ride

[Truenotch]

The FOMO is gonna be real for this one. Have fun everyone! Do a skid for me.

Have you ordered a yellow flip top helmet?

[Gyrocket]

Pretty excited for this one fellas, 

I'll be riding my fresh build a bloody angry postie, should be fun

My monkey is also ready to go happy to bring it and chuck it on the support trailer as a backup for anyone that needs it if thats something people want, I rode a backup CT a couple years ago, figured I could return the favor

Either way looking forward to an epic few days!

Monkey has a 140 lifan in it 

It's also a bit angry 

[anglia4]

That monkey looks like a riot!

[WankBankA100]

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.

Hahaha All mine are mopeds

The postie is definitely a stretch 

[anglia4]

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.

[alfalfa]

Hope everyone has their wet weather gear packed. It's looking a bit soggy!

[tortron]

Hopefully not east cape soggy! 

 

Don't forget the chainsaw and some strops

I've just sent out the email with all the directions etc.

[morkster]

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

Hey fellas, we have had a couple pull out of our group

Does anyone need accom because I've got rooms booked that will now be empty

Cheers!

[morkster]

I was kicked out of the caravan at awakino so wouldn't mind a room there because at the moment i'm sharing with 3 others across the road at the post office i think..

 

Might be best to PM
