    Anyone know who to contact to find when it's open again?

    I have a junior DB ride in mind Iwant to do in the nxt few weeks

    Nelson to rainbow gate,turn around so save myself $15, ride the Porika, Braeburn, Maruia & return via Braeburn & Porika & have nice coffee at St Arnaud.

    Cheap day out.

    Porika may be closed for the same reason as Maruia ie ,work in progress and just no room for machinery and traffic .
    Go have a look for us on sunday when theres no one about ,if we dont hear back we will assume you didnt make it.

    Porika......




    Would be hard work on a big bike (3 people needed IMHO), the pair of us struggled a bit getting the little bikes up the exit slope. Apart from this 1 spot it's all pretty standard

    I went to go through on Monday arvo, but there was a road closed sign and a guy with a hi vis vest on. I could ignore the sign but not a hivis vest.

    Padmei, your mini DB sounds good , now all I gotta do is save money for oil.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    You could have worn one too and it would have cancelled out his one.

    So who is actually maintaining it - does anyone know?

    I guess I could ask the DOC office however inthe past I haven't found them particularly helpful (unless you wanted to dump 1080 all over your land)

    Once the tracks are open(if they get fixed) I'm keen on doing the mini db early in the morning - it's a nice feeling riding while others are still waking up.

    Would it not be transpower ?
    Looking at the damage and trying to work out how they might repair it, I think it will be impassable for 4wd's and big bikes for a while yet.
    IMHO it will need either a bridge or dig/blast the road out to create a "dip" into the newly exposed bedrock.

    Buggerery bollocks Damn there's not many other places to ride around here either

    That gorse & wineberry was lovely to ride thru Nordie - we must do that again. Hey what about a Nads ride thru there some day - you hold the camera & I'll hold the mic & let the boys enjoy nature.

    weekend after next i'm keen on another NADS ride somewhere if anyone's keen.

    Either a good day out riding, or a cruise & flat food or a good day out & KFC. But not a cruise & KFC or a good dayout & flat food. Coffee of course - Americano or long black but no latte crap & def no cheescake.

    guess we'd have to pick soemwhere to ride too...

    I'm waiting to hear back from someone I know, who may know someone, who just might know how to unlock or get through a gate that may, or may not lead to riding nirvana.........stay tuned
    Or we could go to Belgrove pub

    Or Aorere.....

    BTW, I heard good things today about the Red Barn Cafe just north of Murch

    You've got to be joking surely? Is this what we're reduced to doing for fun?

    I'd rather sit & listen to KLR jokes all day- wait... that usually happens anyway.
