Canty Adventure Ride ideas for 7th or 8th

[cooneyr]

The boss is working both days again this weekend and I'm keen to go for a one day ride somewhere. Is anybody else keen to go for a ride? Does anybody have any good ideas for somewhere different round Canty region?

Cheers R

I'm out of town this weekend.

Boo hoo:crybaby: nobody likes me, LOL. Given that day passes were used last weekend I'm not hopeful.

If there are any other "newbys" round Chch etc that are interested - I don't bite, don't care about pace and don't mind covering old ground. I just want to go for a ride given my 3 month "break" and the fact that the boss is busy. :scooter:

Weather is suppose to be good.

Can I come down?
The weather isn't good here :(

Wonder if I could dodge rain all the way?

Hey Ryan,

Might be a starter for Saturday arvo say 13:00, wifes working but might be able to palm off kids to mother-in-law for afternoon.
I'll let you know, could do a loop via Birdlings - Wainui - Hilltop -Little River -Port Levy home??

Speaking as a "newby" I cant come as I am away out of town hunting and fishing. Will be riding a bike of sorts - Yamaha 660 Grizzly....

Your most welcome but good luck dodging the rain!

Interesting - just the sort of thing I'm looking for. Keep in touch.

A bike is a bike but I'm not sure about the "newby" thing - you were doing pretty well on the gravel road up to Oxford. The soft river gravels of the Eyre are hard work no matter the bike. A small trail bike just means you can stand it for longer!

Yous a funny bugger aye! just dont go to sleep driving along the motorways.

We went across birdlings and up the Bossu road to find about 2-3 inches of snow. Made trying to brake or accelerate really interesting but was manageable. We went round to Wainui then up the Duvauchelle Stock track and down to Pigeon Bay. From there we went out to Little Pigon Bay and back then over to Port Levy and Diamond Harbour. On the way round to Governers Bay a Harley had to be shown how to go around corners. Ripped up and over Dyers Pass then home.

Had heaps of fun in the snow. Would be keen to go for a ride in some deeper snow with some decent knobbies :Punk:

bistard.. i wanted to do that ride.
More snow wanted eh?? a snowy Lees Valley comes to mind.
I'm back tomorrow so i guess your busy next weekend now?

[mattsdakar]

Good day out aye Ryan,
Great to see you back riding with aggression!!
Highlight (apart from blowing that Harley away) had to be surfing the snow, wouldn't have wanted it to be much deeper though
Until the next ride...

Ummm yer the boss is only working Sat arvo from 3 on so if we were really quick but that would take the fun out of it. We get 3 weekends together out of 9 at the moment.

Don't know if there is going to be much snow about by next weekend?? We should plan an Island Saddle snow trip though. Would be a interesting challenge to try and get in there in snow :D

Then she must get her bike out and ride with us... but maybe not in the snow.

Cheers RMight be a plan, i think there might be a higher chance of finding snow up there on the right weekend too.

I'm trying to convince her to go for a ride next weekend (partners trip?). We will be avoiding snow at the moment though - got to start with the basics.

J & I would be keen, J dislikes greasy stuff on the 650, we're back to basics too after selling the 250.

If you are looking at doing an easy gravel ride my Mrs is keen to come pillion.

[cooneyr]

Guess I should have consulted before saying too much. Seems she is going of the idea (next weekend) cause of the cold and the lack of practice. I'm still working on it but not looking hopeful.

Na - sorry I didnt even take the camera with me. Wasnt expecting snow, is a repeat of previous rides and we didnt have much time before sundown.

Keep and eye on the Island Saddle ride. If it goes down we should have some "interesting" pics.
