DB1K Photos

[Jantar]

I went over the Cairnmure track this afternoon looking for the DB1k riders, but I was an hour or two too early. So went back up around 6:00 pm and took these: Let me know who you are and I'll edit the post to show names.

If anyone wants a Hi Res, just let me know and I'll put it up as an attachment.

That spot caught quite a few people last year too.

[Jantar]

Today I went up to Poolburn Dam, sleet, rain, sun, high winds etc. But some reasonable photos as a result. Apparently there was too much snow on the tops for some and quite a few riders took the sealed option.

Hi. I'm rider 44 just before the last 2 of Padmei and with him across the lake I'd also love a hi res copy if poss. Thanks for taking the time to take the shots.

[Skinny_Birdman]

I am rider 4. Love a hi res copy, will send you a PM. Pretty sure rider 10 is Mountie.

My only decent pic for the weekend, atop Carricktown with Cromwell in the background.

Hi to you I always remember an adventure riding person telling me our NordieBoy was famous amongst the adventure riding community. I guess I did not get to meet the many OTHER LEGENDS personally. Sorry for this miss. And what can we say about SHREK when we read the DB1K bike contenders from past. LEGEND. Being a newcomer to the adv community hi to alllllll L E G E N D S amongst the community. Arriving back again to Spring Creek Blenheim we once again noted the fallen sign RE EDDIE streamside. We noticed the absence of the DR over DUSTY and know he would loved to have been on this ride also.

[Box'a'bits]

I guess I did not get to meet the many OTHER LEGENDS personally. Sorry for this miss.
Tongue was very firmly in cheek - especially 'cause it was Padmei. He's a legend of a different kind. <_<

Your boy was doing your family name proud when I saw him on the downhill out of the snow yesterday. Takes after his dad - or his mum???

It's Saturday, I was there from about 10:53am through to 11:27am, we've came from Waimate and on our way to Kurow, the same river that caused problems last year.
Same boulders but only half the water, still a bit tricky for some though.

[Skinny_Birdman]

Nice vid man. And a nice crossing.

[cooneyr]

Awesome to see the pics. I can say the weather at Poolburn was no where near as nice when I went through around 3.30pm on the Sunday. The snow had caught up with me again by then.

Numbers and names as best I can remember (some repeats from earlier posts sorry). I'm getting to know quite a few of you all by now but 123 is stretching things a bit for one weekend.
10 - Mountie
11 - Kenb
12 - BigGuy
14 - Scottie
16 - Woolls
17 (black DRZ)- Hillbilly
18 (yellow DRZ) - Rangi
39 - cynna
40 - Rangi
41 - Hillbilly
42 - XF650

My pics to come tonight if little man will go to bed early enough!

Ah yeah, interesting report but I think you had me confused here with the Skinney Birdman on the silver 650 Transalp.
Got his name right on Adv post though.
I'm not in any of your pics so far.

Yeah, its hard to believe its done and dusted. Still buzzing. If you could email as offered that would be great. (markpool@xtra.co.nz). Someone had stuffed up the settings on the "shared" camera i had so mine were all overexposed. A definite disadvantage of domestic socialism.

[Skinny_Birdman]

That's because you didn't leave Fairlie until about noon. :facepalm:
I'd love a hi-res version of the pic Padmei - PM sent.

The little creek caused a few issues, didn't it? Was there anything particularly snotty about it?

[NordieBoy]

More roundy, slippery, bouldery than any of the other creeks.

[cooneyr]

Dinner plate sized flatish boulders covered in algae. Big enough to throw you off line and slippery as. If not slippery you could bounce your way through OK but even the riders on lighter bikes with lots of trail riding experience slid around on them. At least it was only about half as deep as last year.

Cheers R

[Taz]

I was fine except I stalled it part way thru. Next time I would fit the 15t front sprocket I think.

[Woodman]

Yea its oddly tricky, and one problem is, is that there is a similar looking creek not too much before it that is easy to cross. I got way off line and ended up heading up stream a ways before getting on line again.

[Skinny_Birdman]

Mrs B is laughing because she fair whizzed through it last year when it was quite a bit deeper. I didn't come off, but I did stall and got bogged. Thanks to the friendly fellows who were drying out the DR in TA's video, and who came to my assistance.:Punk:

And it was Skinny that assisted me when I stalled in that same ford last year = karma.

1. Taz drying out the 640 after an early morning dip...... She was blowing vapour for quite a while after as it sucked the remaning water from the filter.
2. Another Awakino river crossing, luckly a rider in front showed us where not to go! Was quite deep on the left of pic.
3. me, dusty butt
4. Taz about to hit the soft sand on this crossing
5. And to top it off a puncture, nice views tho....

Almost came to grief there meself. Had to make a split second decision to either stop or nail it. I nailed it but it was close to a drowning.:sweatdrop

Same crossing, a guy I met briefly on his nxr125.

Also grateful for the helping hand whilst balancing on one leg trying not to let it fall over halfway thru. Got a bit complacent as whizzed thru on the DR last year.:shit:

We took "Shrek's Shortcut" from the Awakino direction down into the back of Naseby instead of going over the top of the shaley thingys to somewhere.

[Transalper]

And from Nasby there are a whole lot of other bits on the way to Alex. including the Cromwell to Clyde bits.
If you didn't do them then you might need to have another go sometime.

Looks like we did the seal down to Alex & pulled in to Roxborough after 9pm.

[Transalper]

I see in your vid a big GS getting a bit of help and with Shreks hurt bits I guess missing more adventure bits is the trade off, I'd definitely say you have unfinished business. :corn:
NADS go south again !

There were a lot of views missing because of the cloud this year which was a bit of a bummer.

The short-cut into Naseby was cool. The road section wasn't.
