However long it takes to get back from Wellsford. Some of us got to Albany in about 35-40 minutes

That was a damn good drive that day. Weather was a bit marginal, so could have been faster... We did it fairly safely though, so happy with that.

i have done mangawhai heads to auckland on a sat mornig at like 6:30 in 50 min lol

[DefeXion]

I'm in!


Who here has UHF transceivers?

Also, who's going to be the pace setters? I think we should put the more confident drivers up front who know the hazards and can keep control of the flow. A couple of the more experienced drivers down back would be good aswell incase something happens (which we know won't but I've learnt it pays to be prepared).

Bring your medikits, bring your fire extingishers, and remember your spare tyre. This will be fun



Kudos to the commitee for organising it (officialy). A bottle of Spree all round .

I am usually in the front. I probably will be again, though this time with standard suspension and fairly mediocre tyres it shouldn't be too hard to keep up.

[DefeXion]

I'm going to be mounting a camera in my car, so I will stay near the back to catch you all. Plus I don't have the same amount of power as you guys so trailing suits me to the teeth. Can sort that out on the day though.

If we are leaving mills lane at 11, I will show up there at 10:30

[Joanne]

I'm thinking of heading out super early and cycling up there... I might try to fit my camera in my bag so I can get some shots of you guys on the stright 5km from Wellsford (lol, the end of the street where I used to live!).

[Ryan]

I'll just be towards the back if that's OK as I am somewhat unfamiliar with the route being planned, plus the fact that I'm carrying a small AT niggle as well...

[KiwiTT]

We will try to keep our speed in sync, in order to keep the group together as much as possible.

[Munta]

keen but seeing how my baby is due any day now i dont htink ill be coming... the missus was due to drop yesterday

[Subaru ETA]

car has new clutch and ps rack is back in, ill be there!

[DefeXion]

YAY!!! I just cleaned mine but realised I ran out of wax >_<

[You See]

I'm thinking of heading out super early and cycling up there...

Hope trying to keep up with everyone isn't your intention Jo!

I'm probably not gonna make this...will see how it all goes tho.

[Joanne]

No no no no no - I'll probably be leaving home at 7.30'ish - I think it'll take me a good 3-4 hours to get up to Wellsford, from memory it's about 80km from home.

Should get a VR-4 ... wait you already have one

PS: I used cycle up to 100km sometimes in Holland - I miss that feeling of freedom a bit.
