TAGGED!

Had a little play around Westley Rd. It ends up 5km later at the Duckpond Summit and there's a downhill singletrack off it too.

[NordieBoy]

NEW TAG!

210393

Easy for the roadies too...

[CrazyFrog]

Tagged??? Scooterboy strikes again!

Well I think I've got it out at Cable Bay, but Nordie can confirm. Original tag was a bit hard to pinpoint due sunstrike etc. So many beaches around here with stones on 'em too, and tide levels make a small difference.

Nice morning so a short blast, managed average speed on 62.3kmph, not bad on the liddle fiddy. Crusing speed was 65kmph, those Cable Bay corners downed the average a bit. Top speed was 81kmph down Gentle Annie, go the scoot!

Planning a wee 1500km ride this year on the scoot, encompassing a few adv routes, so am in training as we speak. The adventures will continue......

Pic1: Tag spot, Cable Bay
Pic2: Most photographed boat in Nelson Haven.
Pic3: Cable Bay drive......just lurvly panorama.

Yep. Left side of Cable Bay.

Tony's little dingy is quite famous.

[Padmei]

Well done nice pics Crazyfrog. I take it the dinghy isn't the next tag?
It is amazing how many people stop along the drive to take pics of the dinghy.

What would have been classic would have been a pic next to the tarp covered roadsign by the aborted roadworks. Someone sprayed "Wrecked road ahead" on it over the weekend. Chuckled all the way into town. By monday opus or similar had sprayed over it.
I have a strong desire to nip out after dark with a spray can

Oh Yeah..... nice pics C.F. :niceone:

Yeah but I bet you have guys actually working on it.

[Woodman]

Yeah but I bet you have guys actually working on it.

yeah but I think they took working on "High" street a litlle too literally.

[Padmei]

What I wonder about is why do they dig up such a long distance of road then leave it for a couple of months before working on it or trying to finish it. Wouldn't it be better to do shorter lengths. The end product still looks shit ( well outside our place anyway).

Or maybe they get over enthusiast about ripping the stuff off like us taking bikes apart and leaving the frames & parts to ferment for a while:laugh:

They woulda started the job prior to the end of the financial year (31 March) to use up budgets etc apparently.

Are you talking about the bits of the passing lanes along Atawhai Drive (SH6) that have been patched (large areas that are at a different level to old pavement surface)? That is some seriously crappy work that should be fixed up ASAP. Well it was crap when I was in NN a few weeks back. Ground conditions there are probably not that great so they may be trying to get it through winter before fixing it properly but it is still in a really shitty condition.

I'm not 100% sure if the Nelson/Tasman state highways are managed by the Wellington office or the "special" Marlborough office. I'd be ringing the Wellington Office on 04 894 5200 and asking to talk to the Nelson Area Engineer and giving them an earful. I spoke with the area engineers down here about the quality of the work up that way and they were not very complimentary.

[Woodman]

My God, here we are on an adventure/dual purpose motorbike forum complaining about rough roads!!!

[Padmei]

My God, here we are on an adventure/dual purpose motorbike forum complaining about rough roads!!!

yeah but I'm running high pressures in my tyres at the moment...

Ryan that's the bits we're talking about. I agree that the base must be crap or there must be a bit of movement there cos they reseal it everyother year & looks crap every time they do it. Even the councillors are bloody sick of looking at it.

[CrazyFrog]

New tag for ya all.
Get your track maps out, it's an old NZFS track, should be acessable on most ADV bikes, but knobblies recommended.
Adventurous riders may have already found this one while out and about.
This one is not too far from town, will give clues if required.

Go forth and conquer!

[NordieBoy]

At least they've cleared the gorse out now.

Okay, one of you girls had better go and get this on Sunday, 'cos I'll be warming up the scooter on Monday if ya don't tag it.
On ya Nordie, nice to see the tags getting more remote.:niceone:

Ya should have got the camera out on our Friday ride. :niceone:
Lovely day for a ride, new roads to explore and nice and warm. I had my camera stashed in the backpack, but was too busy playing with the GPS to drag it out. I need more jacket pockets I think......

[umopom]

New Tag - An easy one for the weekend?

[Padmei]

Hmmmm wirefence with Nelson in the background - how easy is that!!!

Cool, KTM branded fencepost! Would be easier to spot if it was orange..........

Tagged the bugger today, I finally got a chance to get out today..... on the scoot! Ha!

217360

Location: Thorn Rd watercourse, Dovedale

The gravel on Dovedale Hill posed no problem, fairly hardpacked at the moment, so the mighty scoot had a bit of dirty time.:Punk:

[CrazyFrog]

Now here's one for all you infamous Nelson goat shaggers, go forth and conquer! And it's tethered so it can't get away!! LOL:yes:
Actually, she is very friendly, so please be nice to her.

Photos must be of this tan and white beauty, no imposters allowed!

Lets see.....not hard to guess it's in the general Moutere/Dovedale area 'cos that's where I was today, but how well do you know your own backyard fellas?

[Underground]

It certainly had a nice smile after you'd finished with it :shit:

[CrazyFrog]

Miss Goatie said she's booked for Fri night, but she's free all weekend.
Bike parking is available behind the shelter and BYO sleeping bag:yes:

[umopom]

:buggerd:Now we know why she was booked on Friday night!!!:buggerd:

[umopom]

This is a slithery one!!??

[CrazyFrog]

Good effort with Goatie, nice to see her still smiling!

Has your lad got a new bike John?
BTW, your image res is too low to read the track sign!

[umopom]

Hi Ward - no he is still on the CRF and I can't persuade him to do the laid back tomorrow, he's track building at Kaiteriteri - I was out the other day and got to here - deliberately left it grainy otherwise it would be too easy??!! Can sharpen it up or post a hint or two - but the slithery hint is enough for now.

Not doing the laid back but would be keen for a ride tomorrow or some time soon?
Cheers

[umopom]

Another hint - the way to the cosmic calf? Pic taken at 906 metres.

[umopom]

Updated above! Good weekend for picking this up?

[NordieBoy]

Are the gates open up Serp....ne Rd?

Hancocks own that block and usually it's no access at all.

[umopom]

Mead road into serp.....e road. Round the gate.

[NordieBoy]

Mead road into serp.....e road. Round the gate.

Ahh...

Then you're really, really, really lucky the cocky didn't call forestry security.

He's been know to tap you on the shoulder before you're even around the gate.

I did a laid back up there a few years ago.
Came off Graces twin shock XR200 and scraped up my shoulder on a rock face. My only motorbiking scar.

It hadn't been used for 10 years or so and they haven't let us run another ride up there since.

[thepom]

what happens when forest security turn up?....can they arrest you for tresspassing?

[Woodman]

If they can catch you. Don't think they have the power to arrest people though.

When you coming up this way for a looksee kenny??

Just go and get it - you know you want to??!!

I was going to chance it today, but figured it would be covered with snow, brrrrrrr.

From the TDC maps, it looks like Mead Rd is public until at least 800m further and then it turns north into the hills.

[Woodman]

Put cylinder head together, set valve clearances, install cylinder head, cams, chain , thermobob, radiator etc etc then go up the Lee Valley, left onto Mead Rd, over the bridge and then right, past the locked gate, and keep going...

Fixed, but yeah its worth a look aye, although I generally (generally) turn back at locked gates.

I went to tag that one up Serpentine Rd a month or two ago, but logging ops are in full swing so it is best to steer clear of the area for a bit. The tag will keep until later in year.
Incidently, the view from the top of the Barnicoat range is quite good, especially when ya don't have to bust ya arse on a mtb getting up there. :scooter:

Didn't see any spare plates up there but did score a golfball.
Just over 6deg at the lookout.

but did score a golfball.


I am not sure, and I have never tried it, but I reckon a rego number on a golf ball just wouldn't cut the mustard with "old bill" - and it would be a bugger to attach!

I'm willing to part with the golf ball if the Frogman thinks it's worth a shot.

[CrazyFrog]

Awesome views from up there aye Nordie. Do you see my wheel marks the whole way up, I had it tapped with a worn knobbly which was spinning up good.:woohoo:

The sun glare I was talking about was some reflection off the tower as the satelite passed overhead on the Google earth image. Check it out, it stands out like a beacon when you zoom in on it.

I had to cover the holes in the floor with my feet to avoid getting soaked by the back beach puddles :D

Yeah, the seal changes type right where the gravel used to start.

Was one of the only places a mate could get some wheelspin on seal in his mini, plant it on the gravel just before the seal there.

(( often wondered why they closed the back beach off.... hoons in mini's maybe:Police:))

Thought I may as well give it a kick in the guts.
Mr Pom got the tag on the 20th of November last year...

If he puts one in the top of the south at the moment, those damn yankees may get it...

[NordieBoy]

Here's one from the same place I prepared earlier...
The original pano is 30Mp and about 15,000x2,000 pixels...

Must have been a hell of a job to push your bike up there.

Unless...

You rode?!

:shit:

[warewolf]

You rode?!

:shit:Actually it's worse than that... I'd been to get my bike checked for the forestry permit :yes:

But when I was in the shop during the week and said I'd bring the bike in on Sat, they didn't tell me there'd be no-one there to check it :facepalm:

You took it in to Arnie didn't you...
I went to City, no problems...

Last weekend we were checking bikes we met for permits (on the sly) none had them other than us.

[warewolf]

I went to City, no problems...No, Morleys, because I needed an extinguisher and the lot for the enduro & 6 hour turned up during the week.

Looking forward to it.. Make it a goodie.

What's that black bike behind yours? It looks familiar.. :weird:

[Tazz]

Didn't get another one up as quick as I thought I would sorry.

Can't control the weather so I might have to drop a few hints for this one :laugh: It's not too far out of the way though :)

Whoops, I thought Google would let you drag the data out of it to get the co-ordinates, but apparently not. Pretty impossible otherwise sorry!

Slight hint :laugh:

The turn off is just behind and to the left of where you'd take in this view.

Nah not far at all. I've had a discussion with the committee here and we'll accept your submission :laugh:

If you'd hit that skid site (if you are where I think you are) coming from the top instead of the bottom you would have passed it.

Great track and there are a bunch more to explore around there. You can drop down into one or two of the bays and if you're real keen get onto the road/s heading out down the Tory. It's the usual 'go to' spot :D

I thought you'd come up from the bottom. If you'd carried on down hanging to the right hand tracks you get spit out onto the bottom road.

The gate was closed so I had to go back up the way I came.

[Woodman]

Okay,new tag.
