Key Information
- The Rally is one of the last great motorcycling adventures in New Zealand.
- The Rally is always held over Queens Birthday weekend at Oturehua. Oturehua is in the heartland of Central Otago.
- The reason this site was chosen was because of the climate extremes. The site is as close as we could get to Ophir, which holds the record for both cold and heat for New Zealand.
- It can get as cold as Minus 10 deg C to Minus 20 deg C. Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey, hence the name.
- While we cannot guarantee it, it does snow quite often over the weekend. this makes the challenge even greater. The other reason for this location is the help we get from the Oturehua Winter Sports club people. They provide the food for the rally.
- Because of the cold you must be prepared. Warm clothing, sleeping bag and approprate tent. Remember liquids can freeze including fuel in your petrol lines and especially water in the radiator. Ensure you have anti-freeze if you don't want a split radiator.
