Nelson Rideouts - Where next?

[NordieBoy]

Teal River...


Getting high...

[NordieBoy]

If its not there... you could have a look here " Isalation Rd?"
but I don't think it was rough enough... It goes to a dead end..old skid site..

I all most came down hurricane ..

So you did the fenceline from near the northern trig "Ekatahuna Barstard" back south?

Just spent 2hrs trickling along, doing the fenceline in both directions and twice around Isolated Trig Rd (dosn't really dead end, just sometimes you wish it did ).

No sign of "The Package".

It's amazing how many wet rocks in the early morning sun, look plastic wrapped.

Found a couple of shotgun shells, kwakka plastic, suzuki plastic, THH helmet peak, Thor boot buckle, beer bottles, pig skin...

Didn't bring any of them home either

Yeah, was going along in 1st gear, trying to stay on the bike and look down the sides at the same time...

Attach a locator beacon next time

Did another loop this afternoon.
No sign.

Found some "shitting myself" type downhills though.
Also found the loop track I was looking for yesterday. It does come out the north end of Top Rd.

As far as I can tell, a skid site now chops Teal Rd in two, with no access through it.

I took schmidt out for a ride this avo & found I can get in easily at the top of the Whangas. Rode down thru Central road to Teal valley lookout skidder site.
You know how they have graded that firebreak there that we ride up & down well the very top is like shit now - loose as a goose. Couldn't get up & had another fricking laydown. Didn't even want to retry it.

Had some 2ters wondering WTF I was doing in there

I went up top road last week, it goes right to the top where there is a big fallen tree and a dead piglet. Very gorsey. on the way down there is a very long steep downhill that gets ultra knarly where it comes out on the road. Is that the same place? Good track.

Probably

Ends up at a little water rutted chute with a small tree in the middle between Scout Rd and Waterfall Rd.

Padmei and I had a bit of fun up Waterfall Rd in the soft dirt.

Going in again for a "proper" play tomorrow at 11am.
There'll be at least one other TT350 there.

But we turned left at the Tuamawiwi, the dunes are to the right.
Get the tides right and you can get to the Big River Lighthouse.

I would be keen for another Anatori ride.
Looking at that other vid I get the feeling we wont be doing it for much longer.....fools.

Another 5hr loop in Hira today. Two TT350's making the forest reverberate with the unbridled power of the mighty 20hp, twin cam engines.

There were a couple of fantails following us, but I thought they normally only followed trampers?

We were going faster than walking pace! honest!

Has anyone got a 18" rear wheel with drum brake / 17mm axle..
they want to part with ?.... XR 200/250... or what ever you have

[NordieBoy]

Cruised out to Brightwater at 10am in gusty wind, occasional rain and 10* temps.
Rode back to Nelson at 1pm in fcukin strong gusts, rain, 6*, trees down, power wires down, even a street sign down.

I was shitting myself Brightwater to Richmond. 30-40kph max.


Everything is copping a hammering.
