:

The track itself is reasonably challenging, quite steep in places with the possibility of damp and the odd amount of pea gravel. If we take it easy there should be no problems.

Is that part of the track sealed, or metal? Sounds like a good ride and its about time I get back over to the Manawatu to ride with you guys.

All seal, just requires a bit of caution in places.

Thanks for the heads up. Got a disgruntled email. I understand it is an attack on google groups. So it was in the smilies from KB. Clever. Hopefully fixed, girls gone, sorry guys.

Bugger,they were gorrrgeous girls,almost tui like.

Good shit Steve!

Can't go now. Bugger. On Thursday I had a close look at the rear tyre and saw that it was down to the threads. Thought I could squeeze another 1000 k out of it. Ordered a new tyre and the shop promised it would be here this morning but now it will be Monday.

Hopefully see you on the next ride.

Have a great ride and post some pics here.

Today's Fields Track Ride - Weather is in the improve - Should be a great day

Repost "depart from the Feilding BP at 1000 on Sunday and head up to Waiouru for the first stop via Vinegar Hill and SH 1.

After a catch up and bite to eat we can then proceed to Feilds Track, a legendary piece of back country rd. Bring your camera's as the scenery is quite spectacular from the top of the hill

The track itself is reasonably challenging, quite steep in places with the possibility of damp and the odd amount of pea gravel. If we take it easy there should be no problems.

The track takes us back down to the Para's, another iconic road and from there we can head back via Fordell."

Thanks Al for running this one.

See you all at 10.00 a.m. Although the weather now (7.15 a.m.) looks a bit dodgy the forecast for both Waiouru and Wanganui is "Any remaining rain clearing this morning. Fine spells increasing in the afternoon. Westerlies dying out." So we should be okay. Just have to be careful on any corners that don't get much sun and are still wet plus any gravel as Gary mentions.

Sorry you couldn't make it Radar!

Well, what a great day!

Woke up to a clearing cloud cover. Young Sam is still in hospital after his Op and not sure if he'd be home today so Michelle decided she had better be home if he was. So I was very generously handed the keys to the Buell Reason being is that my rear is just about down to the threads and there was concern that it might be a bit slippery. And the Buell needs a few more km's before some big rides. Well, who's going to complain about an offer like that?

Sam then texted to say he's home tomorrow so Michelle to take Tiger and meet us in Wanga's later after taking care of the remaining young one's

So off I went to Feilding to meet up with a few of the crew. GREAT to see the fabulous Thunderbird arrive - very, very nice!

Hit Vinegar Hill, magic as always, and then a quick squirt up 1 to Waiouru for lunch. Good to see Banditrider awaiting after trying unsuccessfully to kill his PR2's.

Now, this Buell is a magical piece of kit and set up just right, so I had the most fun on Feilds track as it's possible to have. It was just like being on a big trail bike, razor sharp handling and 200% fun factor

Had a great run to the bridge with retired motoman and a quick stop for pics and a yak.

Got to the bottom of the track and hit the Para's. Apart from a couple of slips they are in sublime condition and this time of year is probably as good as it gets. No dodgy bits, except for the mud left over from the slips.

Stopped at the pub for a quick thirst quencher and were joined by Monamie, the Toolman and Judy on the two Tigers. Michelle put the 10000th km on my Tiger on the way, so it's time for new tyres (PR2's) and the 10K service next week

Onwards to Hunterville via Fordell and the Valley then home down 1 and Halcombe. Marvelous as ever!

A visit to the hospital was in order, Sam doing well

Good to meet the new faces. Thanks all for a great day!!!

[banditrider]

Yeah changed my plans half way up the Paras so thought I'd find you lot and mention the slips. Going to do a write-up later but in the meantime here's me pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/andrew.l...09FieldsTrack#
