Redwoods Mountain Biking Rocks!!!

Just the nearly 15 year old son and I at home today, and I'm not going to let him waste the day gaming, so we went Mountain Biking!

Man, that is Hard Core!:2thumbsup We had such fun though! And I can feel muscles I didn't know I had this morning. :laugh: What a blast!!

[Subike]

mowed the lawns, did some washing, cleaned my truck
helped a mate shift her horses
read the KB forum
then........
sat in amazement reading the report on the two 16 year old girls seriously hurt last night in a CHCH stolen car crash, the driver was only days out of jail for a similar offence and did a runner, left the girls to die in a river!!!!!
one girl died this morning of the serious injuries recieved in the crash!
runied a really nice day. that was warm sunny and should have been enjoyed by all. my heart goes out to the girls family.
Fucken soft law courts! The driver should be drawn and quartered!

sorry hope most of you had a good day
I bet some awsome rides were had

[Kittyhawk]

Was wide awake at 0430! (earliest I have woken in a long time)

My puppy made a new doggie friend so us owners had coffee while we watched the dogs play, Then best mate came over in late avo...kicked his ass at playstation (all 4 hours worth mostly) and he lost the bet so was on dinner....

Has been a good day...just chillin talkin bikes etc...

[kiwifruit]

Gave my Mum the learn and got my knee down

[martybabe]

It's been a beautiful day here in the Naki, Had lunch up the mountain and rode all the way round it, coffee over looking the sea then back home to build a wall unit and make dinner.

This is where it goes tits up. Got myself a curry recipe off the Internet and followed it to the letter :rolleyes: Thing is some bastard changed the measurements from tablespoons to teaspoons half way through and I kinda missed that bit, so the resulting curry, verry tasty,was like something you'd dig out of a pit at Rotorua covered in gravy.:D

Man this fugging house stinks and we're gonna put some toilet rolls in the fridge for tomorrow :yes: :Oops:

All in all, a damn fine day thanks for asking. oops gotta run :lol:

You devil you.
Actually, I got my daughter (27) on pillion for a wee local pootle, too. She has refused for years and isn't very keen on bikes, But I do keep asking, so I was real pleased and not a little surprised when she said yes.
Deep down I think she enjoyed it.

[mowgli]

I spent an hour riding though the burbs doing U-turns and figure eights all over the place. Sad eh?

You think that smells, you wanna smell the brides settee, even the dogs pissed off now.:clap:

You know I kidded myself I could climb that thing, looked doable today but it's a big mother, how dya fancy mountain biking down that thing. :eek5:

[MTW]

I had to work, although I did ride the motorbike to work. Got the rest of the weekend off and it's supposed to rain tomorrow. Poos

No thanks! I'm exhausted after my little effort today...:laugh:

I have yet to climb that mountain, even after living there for 18 years! My brother invited me to climb it with him last year, but it poured down with rain the weekend I was down :no: So it's still on my list of 'to-do's. If you want to climb to the top, allow about 6 hours up and 5 down... My dad climbed it in when he was in his 50's about 3 times! But heaps of people take the weather cheap and don't allow enough time, so be warned! It's one of the most dangerous mountains in the country because of it's accessibility.

Have a good weekend Martybabe!

[MidnightMike]

Then shot round to tonys (Toebug on here) for some pool. :rockon:

All good!

Sad? Not even! Wish I had got the bike out today!! What a perfect day for a ride... Oh, that's right! I did go riding :doh: only it didn't have a motor on it! Peddle power!!!

[Ixion]

Prayed. (EDIT: Yes. I mentioned a few of you by name. And a general one for all travellers)

Then drove 400km. And blasphemed. Well, even He would if He had to deal with the idiots on the roads in the Far Norf.

Yeah, a few did.

Me, Toebug (of course), Deanohit, Waylander, and Bucketboy and his Mrs turned up a bit before i left. The pool was wicked though. :Punk:

Some dodgy shots by waylander, some of which miraculously sunk balls (not necessarily ones he was going for though) jj man, my shots were shite in that last one

[Mom]

Quiet day for the most part. Had a visitor around the middle of the day, his bike was not pretty IMHO, but he is proud of that!

Made a few plans for tomorrow, packed my bag, played silly buggers on here for a bit. Now off to the land of nod. Need a good early night, in preparation for tomorrow :Punk:

[lb99]

I got up around 9, and spent the day drinking and making a heap of junk into a working motorcikle, finished up doing laps around the house taking kids for rides until I got too keen and lowsided by the sprinkler, mummy said no more :no::no::no:

[ajturbo]

over featherston with mikkel and back on my own...

was great ride, had a quick thought about derek on way past...

got home in the dark..

funny thing, there was booz buss stop just before my street... so i didn't have to go threw it...:weird::weird::weird: now if they ( the cops) had brought it 50m further down the road everyone would have had to stop....

[Headbanger]

Cleaned out the wagon in preparation for a drive across the country tomorrow.

Then went out to my RC track and sprayed a few billion weeds, adjusted a jump or two.

Then after tea I went back with one of my RC's and done some filming.

Cut it, spliced it, added a serving of Slayer and here it is.

I gotta say I had a bloody awsome day. Woken up at sparrows fart by Mr 4 (baby baby bikie)
We headed over to tauranga polytec to pick up my new toy.
A quick ride and Yup 'll have it tankee ta.
Off to billys to chew some fat.
Head to the mount to feed the mob. How 5 kids can eat that much I dunno
Then head outa town back towards Auckland.
We stopped at the river park and paddled boats for awhile and burned off a lot of energy. --Bloody cool place to spend a couple of hours.
Another hours ride and we stopped to explore the gold mine Just outside Pearoa.
Then more riding to get home--all in all a bloody good dayt mixing family time wioth riding.
