See now you people obviously (like my wife) thought that in the process of hitching my britches I bunched up my jowels and chins 3 through 7 - but little did you realise that I was wearing a skin coloured scarf
Great day - thanks Matt, the things you see when you forget your bloody camera, eh? Could have got you in the scrub and in the creek!

So I thought about making a new thread but decided ahhh feck it, might as well keep this one alive a bit longer.
Few people going through Lees Valley on Sunday with a 4 wheel drive and a couple of first timers (neither been in Lees/Okuku, one new to adventuring just got a KLR he wants to get dirty).
Expect to be a slow trip, fingers crossed for no rain.
We are leaving from Rangiora at midday.

How many are taking boats I mean bikes, I've got through the Okuku River when it was flowing at 2 meters sec. The river chart on the Ecan site is dropping but the weather forecast for the weekend looks like more rain.

Yea, been watching the river level but I've been through over 3 cumecs and heard or others doing it around 4 or 5. The problem is that it isn't or wasn't very accurate when below 50 or something like that. I see the notice isn't there any more.
We'll be fine and if we only get that far and back it will still be good.
The forecast keeps changing so we won't worry about that yet and see what happens on the day.

Keen......
Skiddies and Wheelies!
I'm in. The tranny spent 48 hours on its side after the last quake, so I'm just off to de-oil the air box etc. Big puddle of fuel/oil on the floor suggests it might be a bit of a mess.
Nobody knows what human life is, why we come, why we go,
so why then do I know, I will see you in far off places?

Rangiora
I hear a rumor that garage may be closing soon but somewhere there with the intent of leaving at 12 noon.

I can't make the Lee's Valley ride unfortunately. One of the olds getting even older this weekend.
My behemoth 25l tank for the EXC is now somewhere between the Home of the Brave and Un Zed. So I'm putting it out there that in approx a month I'm looking at organising a re run of the CCC (Chch, Cheviot, Culverden) ride.
Cheers R
