Well Jatz & the boy called in with a few spare links. We finally got one to fit only to find the chain was twisted. Never mind.
I sent them off to get Maccas in Blenheim & they're camping in a grass verge somewhere.

Good fellas the adv lot.

Yep the boy was itching to go. Good to see dad & boy sharing a bike trip.

I reckon they'll just be heading in there now or ordering another coffee so Jatz can have another durrie ( maybe an open face helmet for his birthday would be the go)

Jatz txt me from Subway (so I will hear how bad the coffee was when they get back

)
A helmit like yours then he's got the best of both.He'll have to start smoken tailies though.
Buts that won't slow him down.Best he sticks to rollies then I have time to catch up

The Boy was packed and ready to go when we got home from work (something you don't see everyday a teenager thats ready before you are

)

We got very hot and dusty and there were a whole lot more of those fantastic views.
Very tired now, too tired to type anymore today.

"Maungatap closed"..... Hah, I laugh in the face of closed

**helenoftroy** · 6th February 2010, 22:46

Those shots look fantastic!

Great you guys had a good day.....bring on the photos

I hear Daniella(Mrs Birdman) had a great day & hope I get to ride with her soon

A handfull of us did the Leader Rd thru to Kaikoura on the road bikes today...hot enough on the coast must have been a scorcher where you guys were!!

It was cooking in there,I am now over my fear of river crossing.s and only had a small mishap with the bike falling off the stand and a close call with the gnarly crossing in the the previous post. It was,nt the water that was the problem just the steep and rocky entry and exit point.

Good to see john and son who looks like he has lots of skill and of course to cynna who I,m sure will post aforementioned incident....

It was good to finish with a beer at robbies with josh and mate and then for an easy ride back to chch...for such a short distance ride it gives you a real good workout....l
