    Great weekend

    Thanks for your company over the weekend Nordie, 2 JATZs and Greg - I made it home by 7, rain from upper Wairau to Westport, washed off some dust at least...

    Rainbow fords

    No probs at all - the first largish creek near the St Arnaud end was much easier than I remember; just gravel bed (the previous concrete one is broken downstream of current ford). Much less water generally than last time (pic is of ford past toll gate). Molesworth fords also similarly dry.

    That looks like a stink trip. I'd much rather go shopping for jeans

    Those pics look really stink too - too much colour & definition & other ghey stuff

    I'm either going to (hey, my space bar is back! ) do the trail ride or 2hr.
    Leaning toward the trail ride to see how the bike goes.

    Duck tape!

    I'm going to do the trail class and ride over and back.

    Hmmm...
    How many bikes can fit on the trailer?

    I could see if we could borrow the van (with towbar) but Jenni would need a replacement vehicle for the day.

    Well the ol roota's good to go now, so far i've removed
    -headlight
    -Indicators
    -tail light/numberplate
    -Speedo
    -speedo cable (capped drive on hub)
    -switch block from left side of bars
    -ignition switch (hotwired)
    -Swapped headlight shroud for one off the wrecked KDX for that abused dirt bike look
    -mirror

    and probably some other rubbish that's not needed.

    Also fitted a shiny new set of michilen S12xc's

    I've ummm...
    Pulled the tyre levers, spare tubes and pruning saw from the rear bag.

    Yep, ready to rumble...

    We're good to take the van Mr Wolfy.
    Jenni can walk to her hairdresser course.

    That is what permaculture is about innit?
