You could either meet somewhere like the Mt Cootha Botanic Gardens (still 10 mins from the start) or there's a ranger station literally right at the start of the drive. The Ranger station has a car park etc, but I'm not sure if they have a boom gate on it. They never used to. The Gap Tavern carpark is another option. I'll lead for a while if needed (get the 2.5 vs 3.0R rivalry going ), but I'm also happy to sit out at the back (depends if I have the kids or not - although it's so hard to drive this road and not give it everything).
Natty you had me at "Gap Tavern"
What are you suggesting? A few beers for the road before we start?
