Nelson ADV/Off road skills training 17-18 July

[cooneyr]

Getting closer guy's, anyone else interested?

Might have to make it on the saturday with compulsory enty in the final nelson XC round on the sunday

Umm I was planning on bringing the 950!!! Maybe I should bring the 250.

Have you sorted the site for the training? I'm trying to decide if I should ditch the E-07 for something more aggressive (god knows what)?

I've been thinking about that one. It looks like the area i wanted to use is now out of bounds, so will probably make it up the Hira cos it's an all weather area because of it's rocky base, with plenty of room to make lots of noise.

I've got an old Deestone 140 rear that i had on the 640 which would probably do the trick if you want (got a few fronts to choose from), if its dry the eo7 should be fine up there.

I'm trying to finding a reasonable value knobbie tyre for the 950 anyway. Probably try a desert next. Bloody 908RR's seem to be getting more expensive.

We've been offered the use of the Kinzett Creek x-country area for the training if that helps.

Any more action on this? Is it confirmed? Going to put in for some leave if it is and make it a long weekend again. Only 3 weekends away!

I'll get onto Chris and report back asap, He's currently competing at the Romaniacs (just won the prolog!) at the moment so migh take a day or two to get a response.

If it's still on for the 17th, Shane says he'd be happy for the survivors to do roving marshal duty at the x-country on the 18th up Hira.

Basically treat it like a free laidback that you have to wear fluro on and the bikes will be coming past at warp speed.
Potter around the track and scrape up anyone in trouble.

He's looking at bashing the banks down on the Scout Rd hole so it's passable.

Everywhere else we've done whilst playing up there.

So he reckons if we survive a day with Birchy we should be well practiced at picking up bikes and will know how to do it?

Maybe I should bring the 250 cause that sounds like a bit of fun.

hope he'staking in a digger for that "hole"

Bugger the marshaling, I'm seriously considering racing!!

Does he need a hand dealing to the track beforehand?

[NordieBoy]

They'll be up there the weekend before and the day before.

I'll be racing

I'd love to marshall but will be in Hamner that weekend.

Hi Guy's,

Unfortunately Chris won't be back in the country until the 16th and won't be able to make it to Nelson on the 17th/18th.

He's going to let me know when things settle down and will arrange another time.

Cheers Topo
