Nelson Rideouts - Where next?

Ride tomorrow may be Hori Bay or back out to Meade Rd...

I may have to ride out towards Elaine Bay to look at a mates fricking hw cylinder. (I just know they've flicked the circuitbreaker the wrong way - up is on & down is off). Got nippers in the morning too.
Don't watch any bloody dakars before you go

The Rainbow has some nice deep soft gravel, big pot holes nearer the end and some washboards.

All of our bikes had "issues"...

Pete's rear brake caliper has munted his new pipe. More travel than expected.

And snaped both front mounts on the top box plate..

I have no idea how/why it stayed on...
The first time I have used it...O well they still make bolts...

Found some cool new (to me) tracks in Hira too.
The track that goes around to the left of your nemesis hill climb has been cleared and winds along through tree ferns and water coursing down the track, to the west side of the base of Mt Everest.

The exit out to the car-park (where you fell off) has been washed out and I did a bit of stonework so I could ride over the boulders...

Great fun today.

My back is killing me

I went for a cruise over the whangas today & in a fit of benevolence turned off to Hori bay to do a reconnaisance. The is a smallish washout along the entry road in. The hill of impossiblity looks like it has a horific tank trap cut across it above the left hand turn off. The rest of the road is ok apart from a few horible slips.
Unfortunately the road descending into the bay was impassible due to a horindous mudslide complete with trees. The mud was still deep & wet so I turned around & beetled out.

More bikes coming in. I'm getting really excited about the Port races
