Well, not spring time - most windy time of year! Maybe autumn? Not so hot, before the howling winter southerly changes kick in...

I'm sure Jo or I will be able to keep an eye on forecasts for you closer to your time of racing!

Just sit in Auckland til a massive southerly storm hits the country, and fang it

What's all this talk of Southerlies?! I'm pretty sure Thomas would prefer riding with a nice Northerly up his backside... :eh:

No, we see you making a fool out of yourself. Want a spade to dig yourself a bigger hole?

I have found Lambert cycles number. will give him a call.

Sounds like this has not been attemted in a while. it will not be a easy task.

getting in and out of welly and auckland could be interesting.

timeing could be everything as well. get a howling southerly tail wind and its all on. but if its head wind it wont be fun. any weather experts out there? not sure what time of year would be best.

say its 650km. to break the record by half an hour the time to aim for is 19 and half hours. this means a average of 33.33km/h. hmmmm

To get out of Auckland you would need to start very early in the morning, thats what the old race used to do. I had some mates that used to the race and they would hire a campervan and take a ciropractor.

Current record holder is one Colin Anderson of Palmerston North, really nice guy too, amazing super enduro athelete

Getting out of auckland will mean a very early start, getting into welly is easy peasy, work does a semi regular palmy to welly ride, from the shop to the intercontinental, gettin into welly is easy, down the expressway, off at porirua at memory, across the glenside hill, down the nauranga gorge and onto surface streets at the bottom

in 4 days 17 hours and 40 min i think.

he was a the 4 lapper of Taupo. did get a chance to talk to him as he was not in the early break away group and they wer the only poeple i rode with.

a very early start sounds a good idea.
