JANUARY EVENT - CRUISE to Hanmer Springs

[JT]

The votes are in so here's some details.

Sunday 22nd January
Meet Bush Inn Carpark at 9am
Leave 9:30am

Cruise through Rangiora and meet us 10am outside Shell station after the railway line. Onto Hanmer for the day. If you've got a Mountain Bike and want to go for a ride my bro and I will be taking ours. You can hire them up there if you don't have one but still wanna go for a ride.

There's mini golf, those pedal cars, tennis courts and of course the Hot Pools so plenty to do. Even if it's a warm day the cold pool and hydroslides are good to chill out in.

Cruise back whenever you want

Any idea on the cost of mountain bike hire Josh? Or alternatively a contact number so I can find out? I'd be keen for some of that if I end up coming (can't confirm yet - making my trip up to Nats on the Tuesday following so I need the money for that!)... let me know

Did you deteor via Queenstown on your way home from Nelson?
You know you want to come

cant make it now! too far to travel!

Eh?!? Was there an earthquake and Hanmer shifted a couple of hundred km in the last few days? It's only like an hour and a half normally.

Howd you manage to do that many. My trip to nelson was via Dunedin and I still "only" did 2000

[Bling]

ummmm not too sure really,

lots of running around 1500 for nelson, did a lot of running around including a few trips motueka - nelson, and upto 3 trips a day to kaiteriteri beach

then went to akaroa, then went to west coast and did driving there, all adds up

excuse the double post but that deserves a

[Elmo]

I was up that way just the other day, its still there, in the same place.

Infact, I was up there 3 times in 1 week, ok, twice wasnt as far as hanmer, but it was 2 hours drive from the back of Harwarden to where we were staying.

(there for 1 night, back home to work for a week, then back in for new years for 3 nights, home for a night, then hanmer for a night)

/\---- thats just to say that Hanmer isnt far away. ---/\

It would cost, what?? 20+ odd $$ for most people return? Unless you drive a turbo car and FEEL that you must try impress everyone by boosting everywhere.

If you cant afford to go, why not hitch a ride with someone else? Im sure there are heaps of people that would be happy to take a passenger for ride in there wag.

BTW, my excuse for not going is because its too far, so Im gonna go to Timaru

Did the same earth quake shift Timaru closer?

[JT]

Weather is looking ok, not too warm so think I'll be throwing bikes in the back of my car. Be cool if some others wanted to go for a ride too so attach those racks and dust off the bike.
