Nelson Rideouts - Where next?

[JATZ]

Still going?
I can crooze wif youse now.

Either on the DR with worn tyres and sloppy chain or the TT with brand new race knobblies.
At least it'll bed the new front brake pads in. The rear brake shoes are shot after Lamb Valley and I'm told the hub is too worn to use normal shoes and I need to get some made up to suit...

Any idea what time you might be at the St Arnaud end of the Rainbow Rd? I'm not comitted yet as this could make fords interesting

Havn't fully comitted yet, will make a decision tonight, after I've picked up my wet weather gear from work.
Snodpete.... we would probly be in St Arnaud about 9:30

I got some new glubs today and took them for a ride to Pelorus where the boy bought me lunch

Fckin ard core adv riders


then turn around 180 deg


maybe not so ard core after all
Good effort gettin it up there though

[snodpete]

Get up early - poke nose outside - if there are gaps between raindrops gear up and ride 160km to St Arnaud by 9:30 (roughly). Fuel up - meet Nelson adventurers & ride through Rainbow 112km to Hanmer (direct, no side trips for me) then back through Lewis 137km to Reefertown and stay with Mrs who is working there for the weekend.

Big night out round Reefertown high spots... Return to Hanmer in morning and ride 185km through Molesworth then back home 283km via Wairau etc.

Sat 409km - Sun 605km - something of a mish..!

Nordie and Jatz - are you still in?

[Padmei]

Now if the slip was still there, that would be very, very cool.
