I'm looking for Christchurch Adv rides

[cynna]

There will be 3 of us leaving early from Karamea, meeting up with the number 1 criminal at Waimangaroa, heading to St Arnuad to tee up with a dodgy norfie (.chris) at St Arnuad between 1 and 1:30, fueling up and should be hitting Mailings at around 2:45ish. This will make 5 riders in total heading down Rainbow (as far as I know).

u doing edwards as well? will prob bump into you guys along the way somewhere

[Crim]

yeah but we are not starting till 1 or so from North end of rainbow - if you lot do Edwards first and then we may catch up on Mailing , if you do Mailing first reckon you'll be way ahead of us all the way

[whatastoner]

Cynna. Would like to join you on Saturday. Haven't done those passes before. Where and what time are you planning on leaving?

[Shoshoni]

its just me leaving chch on sat now - thepom is standing me up. not sure what time im leaving - 9am maybe. let me know if u r keen

9am sounds good, meet at the Peg. We can either do the gravel roads or black top to Hurunui then pit stop at Hamner before heading out.

+1

We'll aim to be at St Arnaud at 1pm, fuel up and push on so we can get to Mailing Pass at a fairly early time. Would be good to catch up

Cheers

Basically the gravel roads behind Amberley, would add to journey time but well worth it.
I would normally turn off at the bridge north of Woodend and go from there.

Excellent day out in the only that one mishap, me loosing speed going up that hill then stopped and couldn't get traction again
Thanks guys for the push.

[cynna]

yep had a good day. looking at doing the ccc ride soon to wear out my tyre so i can put a new one before the db. if that doesnt work will have a ride around lake coleridge as well

[Transalper]

If you want company before the 1st I am free every day except possibly boxing day as may be doing the Waipara riverbed thing, not sure but know we are starting in Amberley so guessing it's the river.
I'd been thinking about Molsworth/rainbow lap in a day, all opens on the 28th and everything should be quite good with this bit of drizzle keeping the dust down.
