Nelson Rideouts - Where next?

[Woodman]

Not sure but pretty easy on it. You working? We could arrange it for your day off. WW may be allowed out of his cage too.

Colin there are some pics up of you on the adv rider thread which I thought are pretty good (for a bad amateur anyway)

I can re-arrange some of my staff to suit my riding needs so some day next week (tue, wed, thur or fri ) would be easiest for me .
I really need to do some k's prior to the dusty to see if any of my farkles work and to scrub in the new tyres.

If anyone is interested in a day trip thru porika, braeburn, coffee at rocksnot & Maruia saddle & return from nelson I will be going in the next week. Perfect riding conditions at the mo.

Sounds good.

Pelorus tomorrow should be good too.

[Padmei]

Hey what time were you leaving to pelorus & getting back?

[warewolf]

The plan: coffee at my place 9:45a, leave 10am via Maungatapu to Pelorus to meet colliedog for more coffee. Back over M, eta in NSN by 1pm, visit vintage bike show at Stoke before heading out to Rabbit Island to watch the racing, starts 3pm.

WW can i book in for a coffee (provided it's not pissing down), time to take the DB1K640eRR special for a shakedown run. will try and be at yours by 9.10ish.

[warewolf]

No worries!

Was going to do the Maunga on boxing day night.
Got to the start by the caretakers house and there is a rope across with a sign 'closed until further notice-order NCC' ??

Thommo, rules were made to be broken, live a little. A wee bit of rope hasn't stopped most of us over the last 2 months, and besides, there is no road closed sign at the Pelorus end of the track. I think they're just trying to discourage 4wd'ers after the fatality in Nov.

It's OK Thommo, I did that first time, needed these naughty boys to drag me through!

[Padmei]

I went thru the other day & the caretaker told me it was closed but I could go under the rope & go over. As if I wouldn't any way.

You guys missed a good dose of methanol & excitement at the beach races today.

I'm def entering in it next year along with Topo.
How hard could it be - you only have to get around a couple of cones & then open the throttle up.
I'll send them an email & try to get an adventure class included. We've got a year to pracitse going straight & fast. The rest will come on the day.- hey no smilies WTF?

There's actually what looks like a rather permanent looking sign on the pelorus side at the end of the seal, noticed it today on the way back..

There is a nice reflective sign on a big post all official and permenant looking at the Pelorus end that says "Maumgatapu track closed".

You'd think they could spell it proper.

I'm gonna do Porika, Braeburn coffee @ Rocksnot then maruia & return to nelson on Tuesday leaving here about 9am back in the avo. If anyone is keen sing out.
