Good ride, we rushed the Molesworth a little (still took 4 hours though) as thepom had a room in Hanmer he needed to return too.
We parted ways at Blenheim and I ended up pitching the new tent a few k's before St Arnaud at the Kowhai Point Scenec reserve DOC spot for $6.
Nice little area, couple of loos and several areas to pitch a tent or park a camper.
Unfortunately the sandflys found me there too.
New tent is not all it is advertised as, the claimed 65cm vestibule actually does not exist... at all ... but thankfully there is plenty of room inside for one biker and most his important gear, including boots to stop the stones getting in them thanks to early morning ADVGD's which is what happened when my boots had to be left outside while camping with him last weekend. Panniers and topboxes can stay on the bike.
Also tried one of those hiker shelter flys, I'll never go camping without one again. Would have been great in the rain.
Some experimenting on how to get the best out of the setup is still required though... and can i fit it on the WR?
I finished with the Braeburn, Maruia Saddle, late lunch at the Hurunui and the usual backroads behind Amberley.
Pic a bit crappy.. low light and old phone camera.

This is the one I bought..www.completeoutdoors.co.nz/mannagum-refuge-bay-camp-shelter-hiker-fly-xidp303031.html
3m x 3m $60.
They have others on their website... smaller/cheaper...

3m x 3m seemed plenty big for one man with bike and tent.
No poles or pegs included though.

Was thinking about doing the Le Bons Run anyone else interested.
Not sure about a route yet but I do want to have a look at Ol Le Bons Track I haven't been there for awhile.

Sounds like a plan. I'll change my tyres for that

That's the one, there is a single sand track in there but its not to long.
The last time I did it I headed to the beach and rode across that, I haven't done any sand riding on the DR yet so I think I'll struggle.
Thought if we try that then we should try Birdlings Flat to Bossu Rd get all the that stuff out of the way in the beginning.
im out for that ride but the db1k reg are now open - $115 - limited to 150 riders again I think
