I'm looking for Christchurch Adv rides

[Adux]

Something like 9am meet- depart by 9:30am.
Lunch at one of the C's
???
Which way round to go and/or which way to zig zag?

Mind if I tag along for this ride, have a leave pass for the Saturday so would be keen to meet up for a ride if ok?

Cheers

No need to ask buddy, you're always welcome and should come along more often.

Organised in a public forum so technically anyone can join in anyway but is nice to have some idea of numbers thinking about it.

I'm out this weekend...
Sold the XR , Got to be in Blenheim so he can pick it up...

Plans have changed and have a family commitment I need to attend so will unfortunately have to miss the 13th.

No plan survives contact with the enemy!!!!!

Have a good one and hopefully catch you on the next one!

Probably heading to or toward Alexandra Queens Birthday weekend, not really interested in the actual Brass Monkey anymore though. No plan made yet so if anyone has ideas?

Mention of Banks Peninsula again soonish though I'm hoping to get a bit of single track Waimak etc in too.

Other than that stick ya hand up and let us know when ya free and maybe where to, no need to wait for us to organise stuff publically.

I've still got this date locked in for this trip so will pass through Chch to meet up with you all and head off South. I have some tracks lined up to inspect based around a few remaining sections of a ride I am planning, but depending on the group it may not work. Some of it will be quite techy, lots of river crossings and not overly big bike friendly. Interested?

Yep, in fact you may just have landed the job of setting it all up 'cause passing it on to you is the easy way out and gives me someone to blame when ... was going to do simple/basic cheap accommodation as usual but please avoid tenting if possible.

Crikey, that took an unexpected turn

What I can do is come back to you with portions of my route and work in with you to piece together a rip snorter of a run. I have quite a bit of work left calling farmers/land owners and organise access (viability) for about 4 sections. Some of the river crossings I know will be fine, some however may be far too deep and the access points will have to be shifted up stream or above confluences etc, in all honesty this is essentially the remainder of the preliminary route run, not really appropriate for a public ride, especially if riders come along that don't have the skill level. Not trying to be rude with that blunt comment, just trying to keep it safe.

Much of the planned route will have been ridden by very few riders (I know for a fact some has never been ridden at all) so it will be a damn good route. I'll aim to finish up the calling Monday through Wednesday and come back to you with the results. We can suss things out from there.

I'll be working Queens Birthday weekend unfortunately but keen to get out at the first available opportunity, this weekend is out and probably next weekend also but if a window presents itself I will be out.

Have a good one

Cheers

Well

I was vaguely interested in this, but given that I'm horribly underequipped and horribly underskilled, I guess I'll just have to wait for the writeup and see how you guys go and visit the bits I can deal with later.

Might be keen to go for a ride somewhere over the long weekend if anyone is keen though.

The most thought I had had for Queens Birthday was the likely hood of grabbing a cabin in Alexandra at the Tourist Park (31 Ngapara Street) probably for Friday/Saturday and Sunday nights and doing day rides from there where ever those who had joined me wanted to play.

Good to hear from you Ryan, it'd be great to catch up for a ride again. Will keep you in the loop as the route takes shape
