    Winter means no forestry tracks closed due to fire risk

    Since I've had a bad week & cleaned my bike (now with shiny rims & me with rimmy shins) I am gonna take a couple of hours off this weekend to reacquaint myself with the potholes & loose rocks of the Maungatapu.

    Also I am getting the last bit out of the mt21 before getting a new 606.

    Anytime is good apart from Sat morning if anyone wants to tootle over & back.

    Over & out

    Iron Bridge to Denniston on the way down and wiggle our way back via other possible tracks to overnight in Reefton and the others on Sat?

    Yeah but you were still following the mighty KLR!!

    Shall we say Sat 1.30 at the start of Branford Park by the steep rock face?

    Anyone else is most welcome - no cameras though please

    Had another stab at the Elaine bay, Penzance pylon track this evening on the KTM .Finished the digger job early and while the bloke I was working for went away to get beer I thought I'd nip over to Penzance and back .
    Well the strap on my backpack broke and put me off ballance and I arsed up and ended up having to push the 'hard to start when flooded Ktm' up a rise to get some down hill , got to the end ,turned around and didnt make it up the slippery hill Topo and I got stopped on last attempt ,so in the interest of self preservation I hit the highway out to Rai and home round the long way . Running very short on gas I called in to Elaine bay to scrounge some and ended up having to drink beer in return for having my tank filled then continued home in the dark with my 1 candle power headlight .All in all a good day out adventure riding . so Padmei and co dont stop at pelorous this track is do'able .
