    Anyone been up, or down, the Selwyn recently? Worth a nudge?

    Nice, I haven't been there in years but I remember it as a bit of fun in deep riverbed gravels and mostly a dry riverbed until you have travelled a long way from the SH1 entrance either direction or it rains heavy. Lighter bikes a must for the fun factor.

    Wednesday Evenings

    Wednesday evening, about 5pm I'm thinking of heading to Little River pub for tea. Been doing it about once a month usually with Geordie since daylight saving ended, due to go again and the forecast looks ok this week so far.
    Was posting in Meeting and Events but no one else ever showed up so thought I'd try here incase anyone here was interested.

    Meet outside the Halswell Vets at 5pm, we'll be eating by 6.

    Keep on posting a reminder here TA. I'd be a starter but can't do this week. Cheers.
    Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!

    Maybe...

    If I'm flying solo I can make Halswell by 5 (just), if Mrs wants to come for a ride no chance, hence why I haven't been joining until now.

    Will see what the day brings.....

    We made it 5pm because it has us sitting down at the Pub at a more civilised hour and no one else was showing up at the later time we started with anyway. Can always meet us at the Pub 'when you get there'. I don't mind if you talk while eating, we don't rush off as soon as we're done.

    3 of us out tonight. I got held up at work so was a bit rushed after pumping up a lowish front tyre so skipped the fuel top up. Unfortunately on the last trip my speedo stopped working so I wasn't totally sure how much gas was in the tank. I since fixed it or so it seemed and surely there's enough to get there and back again, it's not that far. Well it turns out that the old Transalps reserve will not get me all the way back from near the Little River pub to the next open garage in Halswell. Nope, after tipping the bike in Taitapu I made it to the first set of lights which I half coasted, half paddled through in sight of that next open garage about 300 meters down the road. Happy to say the bike rolls nice on the footpath and after 2 different people in cars stopped to offer assistance with in that 300 meters stretch I got the gas I needed at the garage and she runs again... Oh and the speedo stopped at the pub again, all good until I reversed it seems, probably the little plastic gears in the hub.

    I waited just past taitapu. Dammit. I thought you'd taken the old taitapu road to miss the roadworks. Ah well pushing keeps one warm.

    You could have said something at the Pub and taking the lead on the way home, that way we could have taking pics.

    Anyone interested in doing Lyndon Pass in a couple weeks time weather permitting.
