I'm looking for Christchurch Adv rides

So it's the blind leading the blind then

Suppose I should go pack some gear too, placing my faith in bungy cords after a failed attempt to graft a pack rack onto the back of the bike tonight.

Looking forward to the first beer at the rally tomorrow

Definitely pack a rake, you never know how many leaves you may come across

I'll see what the morning brings but have somewhere else to be mid arvo so if I'm not at the PEG at in time don't wait for me.

No time for raking leaves, there be beer and unattended wimmin at the end of the ride.

You missed my cunning edit, cruza has stuff to do in the am so not leaving until 10-10:30ish, so probably won't work with stuff to do mid arvo.

Better start planning another catchup playing on the stock tracks on the peninsula some time soon if you can't make it....

You're right, not enough time to make it work for me tomorow.
Might be almost time to hit the technical few out there then. Robsons Bay, Takamatua.

Which way round to go and/or which way to zig zag?

9am sounds good, I wouldn't mind doing it Culverden to Cheviot

Duh.......lol

We both ended up using small day packs . Magic ride to rally , loved the random spur road bit . Had to use gps once to figure out which track to take. track doesn't seem to get much use looking at all the grass growing on it.

Looking at maps.... mount palm track....runs from back of cheviot nearly all the way to Rotherham, map shows 'road' being dead end , but track looks to carry on on google earth
..
passable? private property?
