Did roto with 8 one year, we did the following - flew into roto, shuttle from airport, hired an older van from Rent a dent for our trips to Taupo (with trailer), maxi taxi to go out to dinners, etc... split 8 ways was cheapest option..
doing similar trip in October, staying at ibis budget at domestic terminal(8 min walk) - $120 and $25 a day extra parking.. cheapest option for us as 3hrs south of Sydney.
re carbine
I purchased said bike in XL from Stu @ DEFCON in july. I have a stevens hardtail and a jet 9rdo and needed a bike to make the nz trip and Thredbo trips more enjoyable. well, the carbine is great for what I want it to do. procrastinated for ages over the stumpjumper, hightower, sb5.5...
shuttles
Hi,
yes been before and fully aware of the shuttle service, but we are doing a private shuttle for 4 hrs to do the runs we want to, just looking for a few more guys to get the cost down, have a 29 seat bus with 8 guys..
Hi all,
A group of 7 (maybe 8) going to Rotorua on 10th March 2015 through to 17th March and looking at doing a couple of days of shuttles(private). If anyone is going to be there at the same time and interested in sharing in the cost, the more the cheaper.... drop me a line and we will look at...
TWE all the way
I have a race set of TWE xc wheels that greg built up for my daughter(50kg girl) , the wheels are super light and have not mised a beat... I highly recommend him, all though he is at times hard to get hold of.
Rode the track (as per map on website) yesterday, a fair bit of fire road...
Single track was good but a bit wet down in the creek area and on the flat off Tallowwood...

Maybe the powers that be decided that no Aussie Champ would be upto the standard and decided not to send them(sparing them the humiliation of defeat)? Seems to be the case with a certain xco division for Worlds!!
My 2bobs worth.
Hi All,
I didnt do my doe at the Doctor(but i did at the CP), and I rode most of the course 2 weeks ago at MOGO- but i feel for everyone....BUT, I live at Ulladulla and our mtb tracks are all gone as well..BUT more so our town got smashed....and now it is pissing down with rain so all those...
I totally agree.. a well organised race that was very casual in atmosphere and friendly and courteous folk out on the track. All the little folk were great out there and the hotshots were more friendly than usual, no sheep stations at stake for this event!!
I was very impressed at the amount of...

Azzuri
I just purchased an AZZURI Imperia, full Ultegra SL groupset with Mavic Aksium wheels, Alu frame with carbon rear end and forks. Price $2k.. Works just fine for me.. Pretty sure you can't get an Ultegra spec bike for this price. Have a shop around on Bike exchange, some great deals...
wheels
I'm with craigl, TWE wheels are great.. Greg has more knowledge regarding wheels than anyone around!
He built a set up for my daughter (1440g) (she is 52kg) and they are the ducks guts. When i put them on her race bike she is overwhelmed at the difference in weight from her xt wheels...
Fuji
Just purchased my daughter a Fuji mtb... Full XT spec with Ritchey bit and Sid race forks, with race wheels come down to just on 8kg.
She liikes it, and didnt break the bank, about minimum of $1500 less than any other xt spec hardtail race bike.
