Update to PEPIN IS checkpoint
Please note that at time of posting this (23/1/12) you can't get through Cable Bay to Pepin Is due to a slip. The road is closed at the junction of Cable Bay Rd / Maori Pa Rd (about 4kms short of Cable Bay). If this has NOT cleared by the TT, the checkpoint photo is acceptable at the road closed barrier as pictured here.
This is the web site of the TT2000 long-distance motorcycle rally in the South Island of New Zealand.
Welcome to the TT2000 South Island event in 2012
You are reading this because you are a motorcyclist with a liking for long-distance stay-in-the-saddle type of riding.
This is the 4th TT which started in 2009 and is known in the motorcycling community as the Iron Butt Lite. Last year 115 bikes were registered across all makes & models. This is road riding among the best scenery NZ has to offer south of the Strait.
This web site will take you hours to fully digest as you have TWO options for how you choose to complete the TT. We are running virtually two rallies within one event. As a somewhat experimental plunge to mix it up a bit in 2012, we have gone for the two rallies in one concept, and you can choose which one to ride according to your taste for how long the 'long' is in long-distance riding.
And the best place to start? Go to 'How The Rally Works' for an overview of the event and whether it's for you.
