I'm looking for Christchurch Adv rides

[JayDNZ]

Cheers! Study went well in the end. There's nothing like starting a degree in your thirties.

Yes Waitangi weekend is good for me.

Good effort on the degree, what did you study?

All good for Waitangi weekend, shall we just see what day is looking best weather wise? Any preferences on a route?

Did Lees valley a few weeks back, nice ride, wouldn't mind doing it in reverse... CCC loop is good, kinda need someone who knows the way though, quite easy to miss the small turn-offs/gates etc otherwise... Be nice to see somewhere new too, if you have something in mind.

Thanks, I studied electrical engineering at Canterbury university. Exam stresses aside, it was an awesome experience. In fact I enjoyed it so much I'll be going back for my Masters this year.

Lees valley sounds perfect. I've done it once before a few years ago on a different bike and remember really enjoying it.

Snap! I'm starting second pro of EEE this year. I'm planning on getting back into ADV riding soon too...

Hoping to get something pre-1976 for the cheap rego (student life and all that)

I'm the guy that rides a fast-as-fuck electric bike to uni

Oh SNAP alright.

Congrats on making it through first pro. Second pro is hard work but the papers get a bit more specialized and there are some really great projects. I did OK in second pro so hit me up if you want some tips from someone who has been there.

You should come riding on the weekend if you can steal a bike.

Awesome cheers!

I'm going to Timaru this weekend and next weekend, but I'd definitely be keen on a ride soon!

Awesome
I have a ktm EXC 525 (road legal)

itching for a good ride would like to meet some like minded people and some good spots to ride!

[Askor]

I've got a CT125 and a DR350 here I'm "looking after" for a mate after doing some work on them, so I'd be keen on some off-road only riding

And a legal GSXR250 but I don't think that would fare too well in the mud

[Transalper]

Being in the Adventure Forum our bikes should be Road Legal, when using the term 'Off Road' usually just means off seal and normally still involves some kind of legal road, just not tarmac.

I'm happy to read that everyone recently posting here does appear to be on bikes that can be used on the road so as such have a look at Remote Moto to get an idea what's around for places to adventure....
www.remotemoto.com, it's growing all the time. Includes a bit of Banks Peninsula now.
It's easy enough to use once you've done it the first time, just share your equipment, riding, camping gear reviews to open up track info.

I can't make it this weekend but could be up for a day out the following one.

[cinch777]

Brilliant, thanks for the info!
If anybody is up for a ride this sunday or next weekend let me no, would be good to get something happening!

[Benjah]

I think Lees valley loop in reverse is looking like a contender at this stage.

JayDNZ, are you still up for it this weekend?

Yes, for sure! Sorry, been offline for a few days.

Shall we make it Sunday? Weather looks good and maybe cynch could join us?

If Sundays a go-er, let's meet at The Peg Hotel, Main North Road at 10am... All welcome!

Remote Moto is a brilliant site for ADV riding.

Great to see some conversation happening on this thread!!!

[Benjah]

That sounds great. See you then.

I haven't ridden much for a while so I'm asking in advance for a pass on general bike gumbyness.
