[Padmei]

Cool vid Fran!!! awesome idea using the College grounds too.. but how many cut the corner a bit fine.. & ended up in the pool...??

Hey girly girl. Was that you waiting with Megan by the trafalgar st roundy the other day?
When you gonna get a reeal bike? The boy must be at uni by now...

[MyGSXF:Me]

No-one in the pool this year or last year. If someone did, then the splash would cause carnage for the next people through though

Yep...

Speaking of reeeeal bikes... does anyone wanna loan/hire/give (to ''keep'' would be lovely jubly..... ) a bike so I can do the Molesworth/Rainbow at Xmas for a few days........????? & preferably one that I can reach the ground on too would be good.....

[NordieBoy]

[Padmei]

Snotso is here for ya. You have get the appropriate form & pay for the rego for the few days tho. Shouldn't cost velly much for a few days.

lols... you didn't get the entertainment of watching me get on & off Snotso hun.... I'd have to strap a cherry picker to the packrack.... but thank you I think for that kind of trip.. it would be best for me (& my neck..... ) to have something I can comfortably manage... without the cherry picker..... or heels....

[Willdat?]

Yep...

I just rode the roughest track in the Nelson district

Centre of NZ to Bay View Rd, along the tops.

Jeebus it's a boneshaker

[NordieBoy]

Does anyone else note that walkers are much more polite when they see you've got a camera going?



Just reverse circuited my "normal" hour ride and went along the Maitai walkway, golf course, Tantragee, Codgers and home.

Was really cool in the pine needles along codgers. A nice flow, no rocks caught me out, bunny hopping the roots , the tyres held on well, the brakes worked as per spec, nothing fell off the bike, or off me.

The golf course and Tantragee seem much rougher going this way though.

Going to pull the TT apart a little more this weekend. Hopefully end up with the definitive list of things to replace to get that damn cam chain in there...

Man that chicks got long legs, & they're hairy, oooh not very pretty either - hey that's Fran riding You should get up Third house & back easily on that steed Nordie - just be gentle with the walkers they get a fright easily - thats why I got rid of my bell


Had jatz round here tonite - we're gonna hot up the Stihl whippersnipper - gotta get a few more thousand revs out of her. Just gotta get a seal & avgas. I'll dial in the suspension later.

We gotta do a few evening rides before summer ends - who's in? What time suits? I guess over Moutere / Wairoa would suit the outlanders.

Don't tell me you really rode that track -I've seen the hardest DHers weep coming down from there - next you'll be saying you can get down the zigzags at Bluegums

I'll see if I can find another one.... I reakon with your engineering skillz and my reckless disregard for safety we should be able to make a v-twin whippersnipper

Keen for an evening ride so long as there is coffee or beer/pizza after

You still got the TT in bits? I might be back on the BRP by the time it's going again at this rate... No walkers seem to like that

[NordieBoy]

Bluegums? Oh, up behind Founders!

I read the track description for the last x-country on the mtb site...

"Start Andrews Field, up Tantragee Rd, left through gate up Summit Rd, right turn up Codgers, left onto Pipeline, left down Drain, right up Summit Rd, left down Pipilini, right down Codgers, right up Upper Pipeline Link, left down to Codgers, right at Codgers left down Andrews Kink, left onto Brook Walk, left up Grass Seed Traverse, right along Lower Rd, up DC to top, right down Whip on to Cane, left onto Lower Rd, right at Summit Rd, Right onto Walnut and back onto Andrews Field."

I know where the Tantragee Road is...
