Hello,

Have you thought about coming down our way??? Are you a mtn biker??? Just thought i might suggest doing some of the events on the south island over the summer..Then combine it with doing the Queen Charlotte track.

Here's a few links i found whilst wandering the net...I've not heard about what the rides are like....( i could have posted more but i could be here for a while...)

And the last one..Intrepid travel..[url]www.intrepidtravel.com- check out the active adventures...
The gros morne one in nfld sounds cool!

I have to get away from the intrepid site before i ruin the computer from drool...
