Especially with the new bike park just days from opening That new bike park is the one major reason I envy you being in the SI. Apart from that, it's too cold that side for me!
hayleyearth Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 So where is everyone for the holidays?I think we should have somehow organized a ride day/weekend over the summer... I am in Hahei from the 22nd - 27th Dec (with my road bike and fishing rod) and then fly to Nelson from the 27th-5th Jan (with my Intense) and then either back to Hahei or Bay of Islands or to Rotorua for the last weekend. Back to work on the 9th.

Back to work on the 9th. I'll be looking after Auckland while you're away. Working straight through, so no time off for me right now. Available for Auckland rides most weekends.

intern Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 We're off to Brisbane on Tuesday...bit of a pity, I generally like to go to the Bay of Islands over December, not this year.
patches Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 I'm in Sydney from the 21st, then down to Bundanoon (Australian Southern Highlands), then maybe the Jinderbyne after Christmas, then back to Sydney to see the NYE fireworks. Then to Auckland for a week (back to work on the 9th Jan, but will work a couple of days out of that office), then finally fly back down to little old Christchurch.In other news, the new bikepark opens tomorrow. I'll go have a look in the new year.
canfan Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 I will be back in SA for a couple of weeks over Christmas and New Years. Taking a bike with to get some riding in with some of the old mates.
patches Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 So last night I entered a 3 day stage 'race', here on the south island. The write up says one should expect 10-15hrs per day on the bike. Fortunately that bike is motorised, which will be needed as the total route is 1400km of offroad adventure! The name of the event...
