Hi guys. Thanks for the comments. Sorry I was tied up over the weekend being a celebrant and marrying people.

There has been some correspondence from TJ and Skidoo which I thought they would share with others, some changes to the rules are coming.
This appears to have been shared with me privately and I didn’t think it my place to be making announcements on their behalf, that’s why I’ve been silent here for a few days too - Thanks OX for your suggestions, sorry for the time spent (not wasted, they were helpful suggestions).
As a result of the coming changes, I have managed to plan a route which appears suitable - I’m now preparing for the ride.
Thanks everyone for the help. I’m looking forward to this. I need some new tyres.

Subject to ride verification, I believe I have successfully completed the first NZ ANZAC Ride SaddleSore. Thanks to everyone here who helped to make this possible. I'll have a ride report out for you within the next week.
All the best from your sore brother across the ditch. - Chris.

We had a massive high over NZ which meant the days were wonderful but the night riding was SO super cold. I was riding through 1degree C at parts of the Desert Road. I had to detour home during the first part to get warmer clothing as I knew from the early morning portion that the night would cripple me if I didn't. Thankfully my plan allowed enough flexibility. I was SO COLD!
I was SO COLD!
