I came close. A pine cone under the front wheel on a corner.

There'll be a nice blip on the heart rate graph from that one...

I saw you.

Went over the maungatap then did the Duppa Link road loop then home.

Was a bit hot.

I saw you too.

Left at 1:15pm. Home at 4:50pm.

Took every left turn up Mt Duppa.

However, I would have needed another 1-2hrs do do them all.

Had to "modify" a fence to get out in time as it was.

Good fun.

Duppa Link Rd? Is that near the end of the straight that looks up at Cow Gully?

Link road goes in on the right just past the Hori Bay turnoff heading from Nelson. It joins onto Mt Duppa road somewhere and comes out by a bridge just as you start heading up the Rai saddle-ish. There are a lot of pretty good tracks up there, but not very long. Good climb up to a portacom with aerials hanging out of it. I am not good with directions.

I headed out & had a look at some pretty fricking impressive engineering & panel & paint skills at the car show. of course the battery of the camera which lasts about 2 months went flat.

Went out Wairoa Gorge. By Jingos By crikey that Ben Nevis road doesn't get any..um... unsteeper.
Once again a good ride co-ordination effort by the Nads. I spose Jatz was riding out Hori bay?
