The DR needs a run so where to that's not too gnarly?
Hori Bay?
Wairoa Gorge?
Elsewhere?

Not so crazy ....
Right, I just talked to JC, decision made to meet Britwater motel carpark again, 1pm, heading up Wairoa Gorge area gain for a looksee. At least if it gets hot, there's plenty of rivers to cool off in

Nice and Zenny.Originally Posted by Padmei
I had a night ride back down the Takaka Hill from Cannan like that.
Topo was far enough ahead on the 625 that I couldn't see his lights.
Dark, no traffic, warm evening, clean seal.
It just flowed.

agreed, the run down french pass is awesome, not roadbike material on the seal, just too bumpy in my opinion, perfect big single/trailie roads tho

Schmidty and the peanut shell would have loved the Wairoa today
The water was low...
The gorse was sparse...
And the hills were mere bumps...

Good writeup.
Is awesometwistiness a word? If not, it should be.
Very Zen, will have to finish that book one day.
BTW, how far past the portage can you get? I have been just past, but am thinking of going out there again for a looksee.
I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

yer can get out to Raetihi , just after St Omar theres a road that goes over the top
to Crail bay... the prob is theres not a lot of signage.... If yer get as far as the portage
you have missed the turn off... Now from memmory.. the turn of is just as yer leave
the coast & go over the top to the other coast the Portage is on...i think/maybe..
but I know yer can get out feather than that... finding the right roads is the trick with
little signage...
give n me a yell..I will waist a tank of gas with yer... still waiting for that dam XT660
to turn up...

Not so crazy ....
It might be a KTM submarine, I took my own advice and cooled off in one of the river crossings. Ahhhh, cool water, Ohhhh no, blown headlight.
First thing I did when I got home was unchoke that damn muffler too, hard starts are no fun, nor is exhaust smoke from fuel flooding, not good for the nerves.
Thanks boys, good exploring out there.

Crazy decided his headlight fluid needed topping up.
That's the crossing you parked the KLR up on the rock in.

Yea that sounds good. Keen as.
BTW Warewolf, how did your grand challenge thing go?
