I'm looking for Christchurch Adv rides

[cynna]

The Eyerton Ford is gone again on the North side of the Waimak have to travel up to Diversion Rd.
The rest of the North Side was in good condition.

did you come in at the road just before the ford or did you sneak through the new horse park

[Shoshoni]

I went in at Harrs Rd, the last time I tried getting in down by the 4WD track they had concrete blocks with cheese cutter wire blocking the road across the stop bank all the way down to the river.

....Might be a good first outing for the new toy...

Me and Badblackbuell did the Le Bons Bay Route today, all the roads were clear and reopened. The Main Akarora Rd was down to one lane controlled by lights.

Ok it's been a while....Who's keen for a dayride Sunday?
I'm throwing a couple of options out there and we'll go with the concensus

Option A: A squirt around Banks Peninsula...through Port Levy over to Little River around Bossu to Wainui etc...u know the route
Option B: Southside of Waimak to Oxford, thru Lees Valley then McDonald Downs ($10 koha) to Waikari then Up to Lake Sunmer and Back via Lees Valley and Rangiora

Both have opt out options for those short on time

Are you guys still doing this day ride?
If you don't mind another one tagging along, what time and where will the meeting place be?

Bit of bad news for this plan, the bridge between Rangiora and loburn is closed again (was open) due to raising river lever (Last updated 1.10 pm 6/7/13). Report here.

Also the main water crossing in Lees Valley is running high today at almost 60 cumec.

I think I'm still in so hope to see ya at the meeting place for what ever happens.

Was just about to post about Okuku River flow running high, been through with others when it was running at 10 cmps which was knee height don't think I'm game to try it running 40+.

Yep, just spoken to Bill McDonald from McDonald Downs he warns that we won't get across the Okuku River and that he didn't really want us thru his property at the moment as he has all his sheep down on the road in case of snow so lets flag Lees Valley.

Lets go back to plan A - Purau - Port Levy - Little River etc etc
See everyone at Shell Cashmere at bottom end of Colombo St at 0900

Probably in; getting up early to finish prepping my bike and gear...hitting the sack now...

Home again. Only fell over once myself... descending Middle Road. Always been a bit slippery that one.
Back wanted to overtake front and I forgot how to save it until it was all over.

[Shoshoni]

Was a good day out we went over Western Valley Rd stopped at Little River for refreshments before heading up to Reynolds Valley Rd there was a bit of traffic about on Bossu Rd.
No offs for us, the low sun was more pain in the a**



TA did you catch up with Matt? or were we chatting too long
