Post to Post - the day before

Ok, it is the day before we leave. Who knew 370 days ago that we would actually be at the eve of our Aotearoa adventure. Time for the final check:


  • Bags packed - socks, jocks and a spare pair of riding pants. Some of the guys however seem to need to take their whole wardrobe! (Togs for the hot pools at Hanmer, because I don't think they will let in a nuddy granny, lol).

  • Tank - Full. No need to stop for the first days travel.

  • Interislander Ferry tickets - No getting on there without these. Here's hoping it's smooth sailing.

  • Cameras, laptops and charging cables - 20 years ago these probably would not have been included! (well, maybe the camera).

  • Fuel vouchers for the van from our sponsors (Waitomo Fuels, McIntosh Farm Machinery and Clive Taylor Haulage) - packed and ready to use.

  • BBQ (donated by Stihl, Palmerston North) - in the van ready for roadside sausages.


Even Gloria is packed and ready to go!

We start Day 1 by meeting at our place by 9am, then tackle the stop/go's to Wellington, where we will board the ferry to the Mainland. First night is in Blenheim, so stay tuned for our day 1 update tomorrow.
