    No, there wasn't that much rain. You could still see the bike in the (second) ford Jen dropped it in...
    Cheers,

    Drop.. what drop.. we were jus havin a wee rest & maybe a bath...

    Great day out!! (even though I was riding like a nana.... ) Gotta get back on the gravel more often me thinks!! Thanks heaps to Craig - for the bike, & to Colin & John - for picking said bike up outta the ford (which was a damn site deeper/wider/swifter/slippery'er than it actually looks in the photo too BTW!!!! ) Had forgotten what a climb it is up to the Mt Arthur road!! (Would be 2 1/2 years since I was up there with the JATZ's last time). Tis a gorgeous ride down the Westbank road.. love that bit where the trees make tunnels over the road!!

    The Hidden Cafe at Tapawera is very cool.. (complete with a feisty eel in the pond!) & they make a pretty good Mochachino!

    The weather held out.. only hit the rain as we came back into Tahuna.. but it sure got cold from there on!!

    Neck was all good!!! & the workout gave my shoulder/neck/back/arm muscles some needed exercise

    Definately up for more adventures.. but must work on my landings...

    GET ON
    SIT DOWN
    SHUT UP
    HANG ON

    A motorcyclist was airlifted to Nelson Hospital in a serious condition following a crash on the Whangamoa Saddle near Nelson today.
    The accident happened about 3.30pm near the summit of the Whangamoas when the 56 year-old male rider collided with a bank.
    An investigation into the cause of the accident is under way, but Police said speed appeared to be a factor.

    LOST white motorcycle googles - Atawhai Crescent. Taken off & hung on handlebars as approaching bivoac after marathon stage. Retraced route along road but not found. Owner wet, tired, hungry & sore after said marathon stage thru the lowlying bush areas of Peru.

    Video coverage of stage to follow at later stage. Expect to see Competitor 'F' DQed for taking illegal off piste short cuts & forcing navigationally challenged water carrier to follow thru- ahem- water
