Manawatu Rant n Rave

Yep, those roads rock! One of my big faves is that section we did twice near my place, Nirvana! Hmmmmm, I have a few ideas how we could make a section like that perfect...would need a min of a 4 rider pose in order to making it work, 6 riders would be ideal!




There are still a few roads I need to explore around here and I'm a local
I'm keen to look at a map and start exploring, you keen? Daylight saving will start soon.
Maybe we could set up a designated riding night like those other smartsie riding groups do?
Wednesdays Wild Country Adventures anyone?( wild describes territory, not ride styles folks)

A 6 rider Nirvana sounds very intriging and I bet we can fathom up just the riders for that!

Definitely keen for some more riding around those roads . Great idea on the Wednesday Wild Country Adventures, could be just what the doctor ordered for those long lazy summer nights

Very nice ride today Good to see Yod briefly and after a relaxed start Chanceyy and I mosied on out Ashhurst way calling in on Cowboyz just in case. Thanks James for the pack, it's great! Had a nice cruise up over the saddle, through Ballance, back up over the track and down to Shannon. Onto the Himatangi block rd for some fun, a quick catch up with u4ea and then home. A great weekends riding all up

Oh yes. As I was coming up Rangitiki St, suddenly there were sirens and smoke everywhere. Turned out someone had painted a car with anti police slogans and set fire to it. Pretty brazen in broad daylight in the middle of the city!

That looks fairly entertaining. Should have popped over to mad butcher - they are having a sale on sauguages. Will be good to see more video too. Will have to get out with it on some good roads soon.

Planning the dogs route. Just wait till wednesday for dogs input into it and confirm that the route I have drawn up is what he wants to do as it is his ride. Also planning another taranaki ride but with 5 stops. keen to get up to awakino and 8 mile again soon.

It was fairly intense alright, quite well done and funny in a sort of 'Oh my God' way. Poor old looked a bit pissed off tho and I wondered if they were going to nab me and my pics

Dog's ride sure sounds as if it's shaping up really well! Good outing it will be too

Just my luck, went for a cruise up to Wiapuk yesterday and I dropped into Subway for lunch, Got on the Ace to come home and as I was heading throught the new cutting southern side of Wiapuk I thought this thing is'nt handling right and I duely stopped at the Picnic area there and sure enough near on flat! New freakin' tyre! Needless to say I was spitting chips I'll have to see today how much money i've got and see if I can afford a replacement.......man...there goes $330 up in smoke!
