The Zig Zag, that starts about 30m past the 2nd bridge heading north and brings you back to tar seal just by Terrace Downs, she's a mean corrugated piece of shingle.

Lake Lyndon Rd is OK if it's been freshly graded but it gets corrugated too. The Rd that goes up past lake Selfe to the harper river settlement & Glenthorne Station isn't too bad.

The 1st right heading south from the gorge heads up to Glenariffe station then turns into a farm rd that loops around to Lake Heron station and comes back to the road at Hakaterre close to the Ashburton lakes and Erewhon Station cross the Rangitata headwaters by the Havelock hunting blocks down through Mesopotamia Station to Peel forest and Geraldine.

I think TWR said that it's OK now, different crew and all that.

I am fairly sure that SDU and I will ride out there some strange long way.
As SDU has work the next day she will not be able to stay.
So at this stage we hope to stay a while and see you and others that we have not seen for awhile.
