Bottom of the North Tag-O-Rama

[Paladin]

I would, but it's about a 5 hour round trip. Been working all day, and one of my staff just rang in sick, so I've got to go work a few hours of night shift tonight as well. :eek:

Besides, I don't think the Mudbug would make it. :laugh:

Haha!

BTW, I think I may need a new rear tyre before going anywhere near Cnut Hill - when i saw Phil's new rear D606 on his Big, I realised mine is well rooted in comparison and I've only got 3500k's on it - was a tad unwieldy on that slick-as-snot yellow clay on descents on Monday! That Big DOES sound nice and goes like stink with that 46 sprocket on the back - he was tearin up hills in 2nd all afternoon! Maybe we could encourage him to take the Big up Cnut Hill, could be interesting! ;)

I must say, that area where the tag is, must be one of the slipperiest bloody tracks I've ever ridden in winter. Crazy place in the wet with shit tyres.:shit:

Oh well, off to work I go.

[junkmanjoe]

ive nearly forgotten what work is......

[Paladin]

I must say, that area where the tag is, must be one of the slipperiest bloody tracks I've ever ridden in winter. Crazy place in the wet with shit tyres.:shit:



+1 on that!

I'll be honest and say I have purposely avoided that yellow stuff in there this winter! But Phil needed his D606's scrubbed in and the first part and middle part of that track from the direction we entered is nice and stoney so seemed obvious place to get the scrubbing-in done in one ride! Downside being my having to deal with the descents on the yellow snot! :shit: I'd rather ride Odlins Rd than that yellow clay any day!
We only had a couple of hours or so to play but had a little explore up a couple of side tracks too, ones I hadn't been on! (one of which was labelled for cyclists & horses only! :shutup: ) All good fun!

Phil's well hooked LOL! His partner is now coming to terms with being an ADV widow! :blink:

[andy mac]

twotyred "I have no idea where this even might be... "

Like twotyred I also had no idea where this loghauler might be, so my wife asked her workmates in the DOC Recreation & Historic team where it was. Orange Hut in Akatarawa forest was the immediate answer.

OK now I know but so also do Bart & Marks - and marks is just down the road in Raumati. Hmm slow day at work, right I'm taking a 1/2 days leave.

It's going to be wet in there so I will enter from the Maungakotukuku entrance which has gravel roads. Wrong, 5km in & on a greasy uphill the back end steps out 90* & we hit the deck.

I must say, that area where the tag is, must be one of the slipperiest bloody tracks I've ever ridden in winter. Crazy place in the wet with shit tyres.:shit:
I piledrive my chest onto the end of the handlebars - f...ing hell, eyewatering pain & mucho rapid pacing back & forth for the next few minutes. Remembering my own advice to Paladin (when he crunched his vertebrae) - wait 5 minutes then get on the bike & HTFU. Meanwhile I'm realising its not a good idea to be riding a 200kg bike alone and with no cellphone coverage. I manage to pick up the bike, no damage & we all know it's easier to go uphill than down and the Orange hut is uphill, so on we go being very, very careful. Hmm theres a few more intersections than the last time I was here, 25 years ago. But joy this intersection is signposted & the hut is just around the corner. Tag completed & we are heading home, down the greasy hills with one particularly butt clenching slide but arriving safely at the entrance.

Great sense of satisfaction to get this tag. Will try to find another challenge for you before the weekend.

[Paladin]

Nice one Andy!

We went in from the Maungatuk end too - nice and greasy aye!!! Glad I'm not the only one getting the back end of the bike coming round! The descents on the way back out were a bit too clenching for my liking!

You did damn well mate BUT I think you are mad goin in there solo where's there's no cellphone coverage - not exactly many passers-by coming along on weekdays!

Good on ya mate!

:Punk:

[Connor]

Good on ya Andy , its probably a bit greasier now than what it was when Paladin and I went in there on Monday been a little rain since lol , Damn good effort going in there alone mate.:niceone:And if your in for a run tomorrow arvo drop me a PM .

[junkmanjoe]

so mate when we going to see the mighty big over the rapa aye..

[Connor]

Most likely next Sunday , if you're keen to get out , cause I am just don't tell my missus , LOL

[junkmanjoe]

I know a chap that went for a solo ride in there many moons ago,on his XR600...he rode off a bank and twisted his ankle and it took him 8 painful hours to crawl/hop out... His Mrs was furious:dodge:
Went back the next day with a 4x4 and winched the bike out.

[junkmanjoe]

Sutherlands?

:shifty:

if you mate is still getting used to the big off road,,there a heavy bike.
and southerlands can catch the best off us at times....
ill have a little think mate...

Come up this way and do the Makairo then. I'm keen.

[bart]

Good job with the tag Andy. Legend. :clap:

Now go in there and stick it at the bottom of the Devils Staircase. I dare ya.:dodge::dodge:

[junkmanjoe]

im going to pop down to D.O.C and have a chat about a piece of land on the southern coast. find out who owns it.
seams to be a good track winds it way up to the top of the ridge.
be a great view up there on a good day.

[Eddieb]

Thats part of the Oronogorongo farm isn't it?

[junkmanjoe]

na mate its closer to the ferry side, me thinks it might be doc land..
it before the locked gate on my side...

[Paladin]

Thats part of the Oronogorongo farm isn't it?

Looks very similar for sure!

[junkmanjoe]

na mate, going buy my books there there is 4x4 track runs the river up.
its not on the station at you guys end.

[Paladin]

Phil will be ok on anything we do mate. He HAS ridden offroad before, just not recently, and he looks well comfortable on the Big; I certainly wasn't keeping up with him once he got the feel of the bike!

I actually think Phil would find Sutherlands a total blast, but he'll love any of that stuff in the 'Rapa either way, just being out in the middle of nowhere with us lot!

[junkmanjoe]

eddie was keen to do tootle round the coast to the gate from my side.
down at ocean beach. i think barry was keen to come over this weekend as well.
see what the weather is like, aye mate.

[Eddieb]

You should probably take this over to the welly or rapa ride out threads.

I'm itching to do Sutherlands again but am not going to be able to join you this weekend. Dads coming down to put the capping on my retaining wall.

[andy mac]

After yesterday's trip I wanted to avoid all greasy clay so I went to the beach.
So follow the coastal track and you will see this structure from a long way off. You will have to cross some beach to get close enough for a photo. But don't be tempted to continue going to the sign on the next point, because the sand is very, very soft. :doh:
Amazingly I had previously been thru & returned using a Tourance. :clap::clap:

[bart]

Nice one.

You don't have much luck do you Andy.

[andy mac]

The plan is my bike skills will improve if I keep challenging myself. Six months ago Paladin & I went thru the soft sand & swore never to try again. Obviously any skill or long term memory has deserted me. :bash:

[marks]

I'm itching to do Sutherlands again

any interest in doing Toppys/sutherlands on 15th or 16th Aug?

[marks]

I had previously been thru & returned using a Tourance. :clap::clap:

maybe you should put the Tourance back on

If I recall - you were pretty well unstoppable with that poxy piece of rubber fitted

[Eddieb]

Yep, I'll mark it in the calendar.

Just imagine how he'd go with slicks on. Probably embarrass the hell out of us whoosies with our knobs. :yes::scooter::rockon:

This tag is still up for grabs, but the quarry gate is locked on Sundays.

any clues, need to get this tag rolling.

[Eddieb]

You'd need to fit some good knobblies and would probably want to remove the fairing on your ZX-10 to get it.

This tag has gone stale after 2 months so last night I took the Yammy Supertrail for a ride to (near) Karori Rock lighthouse. Apologies for the cellphone photos but have dragged the tag back closer to civilisation, now it's only 10 minutes from the carpark. A lunchtime excursion anyone?

Andy told you I was going to do this!.

Here are the locations.

1. Karori Lighthouse (original tag). Not so clear this am
2. Devils Gate (last tag)
3. Red Rocks quarry
4. The new Mystery (South Coast) Location

The new location is reachable with road & adventure bikes.

[BMWST?]

Easy,although it aint the south coast
Makara Beach,it was very very windy.....

[BMWST?]

this is near a well travelled road by motorcyclists and cyclists alike,the house may be familiar but prolly not from this angle
small adventures can be found near home too

the second pic is the tag

[Eddieb]

The new location is reachable with road & adventure bikes.

I thought you had enough projects, and you're bidding on another one?

[andy mac]

Well done lads, 2 tags in a day. Now how many railway tracks are there in Wgtn? And I was planning a day in the garage.

[Box'a'bits]

I thought you had enough projects, and you're bidding on another one?

Well it appears to be a cheap donor bike....but if it goes too high (which I basically expect) then.... I'm stuffed.

Don't tell Mandy. It's her new scooter money we're playing with

I KNOW where the next tag is...

:Pokey: Sorry mate, 1. You haven't taken the tag from me; 2. Was that taken on the day? I don't believe so. Or is it from the archives. Seems likely. The picture you have posted does not match recent weather. Oh, and the picture is the bottom of the Pram Track.

The 'real' tag follows. Perhaps you can find that one & then post :cool:

[Box'a'bits]

Okay guys, here the next tag. One clue, its not in Wellington. I've been kind & haven't posted it in the bush. Go fetch. :clap:

Well that wasn't that hard to find, about 7-8km down Haurangi rd from where it meets Blue rock road. (the road to the start of Sutherlands track) New one up soon

So thats what you were out doing today, you tagged along behind us well over the hill.

[Howie]

Ok new one is a bit closer to civilisation, and is reachable in about 5 min from 2 different State Highways. can get to it on a road bike if you don't mind a couple of km of gravel, however the bottom of the ford is fairly rough so I wouldn't go through it on a road bike.

Cheers

Didn't go looking for it, haven't got a nobby tyre on the back untill next weekend, but think it is either up the pylon track by the Rimutakas, or along the track from the summit of the Rimutakas where it meets the pylons. (not sure which)

Not that time, but have before, and down to the various pylons and along the top to the gate before it drops down to Kaitoke. That was on the DR-Z though before the tracks were improved. It was fucken mega on the DRZ. I had a stuffed MT21 on the back so just fanged the bejesus out of it up the rocks. Tuns of pull and y'd just launch over stuff when the tyre bit on the rock base.

[BMWST?]

even i know where that one is....hmm friday is a day off....

JMJ

you need to have a little look around to find the way in from this side it is completely legit.I just about stopped on the hill and took a pic of my bike in front of your big yellow office :yes:

[BMWST?]

dont you fellas like my tags?

[Eddieb]

Pretty sure I know where that is but it's been about 6 weeks since I went over the hill. Been to far far away instead.

[Drogen Omen]

my spies are searching this location out as we speak... saturday might be doable for me if this is still unclaimed...

[buggsubique]

...bump...

[junkmanjoe]

its the flood gates on the east west access road, south of martinbrough.

[BMWST?]

its the flood gates on the east west access road, south of martinbrough.
Indeed it is the outlet gates for lake wairarapa is,and the access for my pic is just a wee bit to the west....watch out for bottles in the long grass i went straight over one and the big pig flattened it!

[WuZards-Eugene]

Seeing as this has not moved in a little while. Could remember which way your bike was pointing beemer, so I got both directions.

As we have all known where this tag is, I guess theres no point in stating the obvious. One was from Saturday and the other from Sunday.

Edit: Hmm, didn't realise I had to go round the gate. Ahh well close enough.

[WuZards-Eugene]

Found this somewhere on Sunday. Maybe someone else has been past it. Doubt its on Streetview :shit:

This one is along quite a nice gravel road

[Eddieb]

Thats pretty cool, looks like an old swing bridge support for a fairly large bridge.

[WuZards-Eugene]

Clue: Don't be discouraged by the gates, its still a legal road, just watch for cows.

[junkmanjoe]

i know where this is, see what the weathers like tomorrow...

[junkmanjoe]

i was a bit worried i taged the wrong bridge pillar, as there are 4 on the same road.
had to do a bit of back tracking to make sure i taged the right one..

so here we are on the summer hill road.

JMJ

Ah, drat it, and I think my bike was about 6 inches too far to the South. I will have to go back and take the pic again :shit:

The hill was pretty good. Wind wasn't too bad, just constant & not gusty. Worst part was the diesel all over the road being spilled by some crappy old fruiterer's truck. The Tukas are usually a good fun ride. If I put the new tag on this side of the ranges I hope I can could on you to come and take it back :D

[junkmanjoe]

WELL we see what you come up with aye.... so what ya got..

JMJ

[KapitiLizard]

I ran out of time tonight to get the new one as had to be back in 'Pram for a footy game at 8pm. I hope to get the new one tomorrow morning, or at the latest in the afternoon. That way if any keen weekend riders are out and about they will have something to play with. It might be a record if it gets tagged agin in less that a week LOL

[junkmanjoe]

yea dropped a gear and opened the gas up a little... aye..

JMJ

[KapitiLizard]

My official reply is that I rode at or below the legal speed limit all the way. And that the radar detector on my bike is purely for research purposes only :devil2:

Oh, um, er.... of course I knew that ..... Now, where is that "Delete Post" button again :doh:

[KapitiLizard]

The tag moves West !

This one only requires a small amount of off-roading.

[junkmanjoe]

tricky, you will have to time it right with a yellow face train.....

[gav24]

gimem gimme gimme! I can see that one from my house! Seriously!
Just too many jobs this weekend to even look at the bike - let alone ride it!
Although going on past tag speeds I do have at least a week...

[KapitiLizard]

19th today...tomorrow was the 16th, looks like the usual bs form someone who seems as relaible as ever! (read NOT)

Might have to go for a ride, seing I placed the first leg of North Island (post arival at Welly) I may as well move it back to the coast...................

That is unless someone gets out of bed and beats me to this tunnel on the side of the Paekak Hill!

[blackdog]

Why not do both :rofl:

went to have a look, looked a bit tough to push the bandit up there, kl was bloody brave making the gsx go up there. might have had a go if i trusted the hand a bit more....so still a little tag waits :lol:

Damn 3 tag games, know where two of them are and can't get near any of them till tomorrow.

[Bald Eagle]

Three games, three tags locked and loaded....waiting for daylight.

Three games, three tags locked and loaded....waiting for daylight.

this is on an alternative flight path(well only a small detour!)

See what happens if you don't strike while the iron is hot .... 3 tags lost to a Lizard with Insomnia LOL

Where's the new one ?

[Bald Eagle]

Is this thing broken ?

[KapitiLizard]

Nope, not broken, just slow :)

I have plans for the next tag but need daylight to get there. However I am happy to place a more local (less adventure bike) tag if people are getting serious withdrawal symptoms.

Nah just winding you up :Pokey::dodge:

[KapitiLizard]

Here's the new one taken tonight after work.

There's plenty of graded gravel up to the 1st of 3 gates. After the gate it gets rougher (track, not a road). Sign at 1st gate says private property but access is no problem as long as you stay on the track.

[junkmanjoe]

interesting you got that far, i thought the gate was locked.

see if i can get this one sorted..bit busy at work now days..

if i haven't tag it by this Sunday night i wont get there..

Well done. I hope you enjoyed the ride and didn't get too wet

[junkmanjoe]

got away from home at 1.30pm, arrived home 6.30pm,
we went further past the rock wall as far as we could go. just before the locked gate at white rock.. was good to get on the bike after a week in the trenches..
it was worth going out to get this tag, is a great piece of coast line, but a big shame 90% of the road is sealed now....

JMJ

Tagged. Martinbrough square opposite the cafe that used have a nice waitress.

207979 New tag, and it is close to this tag ( http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/99052-Tag-o-rama!?p=1129753124#post1129753124) as well

For a clue the access to this tag is off the road that has this 207980 bridge on it.

[devo]

Dunno why you adventure dudes are so slow
it seems its down to sprot bikes and cruisers to keep this thing moving :)
just down the track a bit from the clouston park carpark on the akatarawa hill.

tis a little east of me

Hi Devo, it must have been slippery going thru the Pram track on those tyres :innocent:

Hi Devo, it must have been slippery going thru the Pram track on those tyres :innocent:

not as slippery as it was on the grass getting the clouston park one :shit:
but to be honest, I didnt ride the pram track, I just backed in to get the pic :)

[Howie]

not as slippery as it was on the grass getting the clouston park one :shit:

yep well done on picking the clouston park one up as well, couldn't make it to easy for the non adventure bikes but thought it was a good to put them close together for a change, and hopefully get it moving around a bit. Thanks Andy for the hint to where the new one is, I thought it might of been up that way.

[junkmanjoe]

not as slippery as it was on the grass getting the clouston park one :shit:

its quite fun watching to see how far you roadies will go on your bikes...

ill have to say KapitiLizard has won the doz for his efforts to the rock wall....+10 points thats a fairly nasty off road track out there

ill only travel to get these if there really worth the trip... cost a lot a money to fill a KTM 9FIDDY now days....

JMJ

[Bald Eagle]

Hi Devo, it must have been slippery going thru the Pram track on those tyres :innocent:

where is this pram track of which you speak :innocent: ?

[andy mac]

where is this pram track of which you speak :innocent: ?

Go thru the stream, up Perhams Rd, turn left into Whakatiki Rd onto the Pram track, thru Karapoti Gorge , Karapoti Rd & onto Akatarawa Waikanae Rd. Remember the 30km speed limit. WOW so many roads must be why our bikes need to have rego + wof? But thankfully I've never seen a speed camera in there.

[WuZards-Eugene]

I may have to go get this on the weekend and push it up into the hills :)

Here's todays tag.
1 Bruce suggested here but the bike wouldn't fit
2 So back to the carpark
3 Carpark sign

[WuZards-Eugene]

Are there any signs say specifically that no bikes are allowed? :innocent:

[andy mac]

No signs at the bridge but it would be foolish to take your bike down there & expect to get it out again.
Find the carpark sign, we went past it on the post CCA ride.

[junkmanjoe]

would have been a better idea to tag a more accessible place for all bikes to tag, so this game doesn't come to a a halt again..

if it wasn't for our fellow roadies, game would be still dead in the back pages.....................................

Jees have I made this adventure tag too hard? 20km of winding tarseal, 5 km off road, Ive even seen a 950 there. :devil2:

Of course first you have to know where it is. Second the weather has to improve.
