Um, I only got road tyres on, so nothing too adventurous!

Ok, See you at the park by the roundabout off the end of Trafalgar St, Atawhai Drive. 12:30

Heading out to Hori Bay and back over the Maungatapu

Surprising the places that you can get on slicks.

You can get to a lot of places on slicks.
The challenge is getting back out of them

What goes up must come down.

You can always get down a hill. May not be pretty, but you can ALWAYS get down.

**NordieBoy** · 20th October 2014, 15:55

Like the Slippery Slope of Despair. Easy enough to get down...
Well actually, it's still a bugger to get down, but half an hour odd to get back up if your "mates" have deserted you...

Yeah, I'll have to get the knobby knife into action if we more intrepid than that!
That shower of rain sure made it a lot easier to get down this side of the Maungatapu,
apparently butchers pricks are a 'bit slippery' in comparison.
Still, I;d give that afternoon a solid 9 out of 10! Cheers, Rog.
Muzz.

Looks like a few real good viewing spots,, Glenhope Saddle would be able to see a lot of corners.

Anybody up for a gentle ride over the Maungatap tomorrow ?
Me and bacon will be coming over on a ferry tomorrow at some stage. Meet at Pelorous or something

Haha.... Points and laughs.... You find out where that piece of metal came from?
Second thoughts... I may be a little wide to get over the Maungatap. I thought I was going to loose a pannier a couple of times coming over the Akatarawa today

I know what they are but can't put my finger on them & it's bugging me.

This is in todays paper....
