Hop on your new DR and we'll go exploring ...

Yeah thats what I thought , bridle path be only paper road on lytt side to ride down . Guess the fence still up on summit road that side? been ages since I've ridden that side for a look....

Those little side tracks make life much easier fer sure tho I did go into some of the deeper ones on the first ride, just for ... fun. Won't be doing that again in a hurry

Just make sure that they're in a ditch when you run over them to make your ride that much smoother

The only one I saw was near the top and he was going up so I had to take my hat off to him, no way in hell I could ride up there on a pushbike!

Actually, it was their tracks that helped quite a bit finding a good path through some of the tougher bits.

So BK at 6pm, and heading to Barrys Bay and Little River? Yeah why not, been a few years since the last WNR.

Looks like it'll be a nice eve for it

Stopping at Rangiora for a drink and maybe something to eat would be good change with the nights getting shorter and less warmer, also won't have to ride so far back to CHCH after the stop.
