I'm looking for Christchurch Adv rides

[Peeteey]

I'm looking at leaving the peg around 10.30am and making my way up to weedons ross via single track (easy flat track) - anyone else keen ?

I'll hopefully be taking the 2 smoker out to weedons on the trailer but we should try to meet up out there.
How long would it take you to get out there?

There is single track options all the way from Haul Road, Mcleans Island up once you clear the ATV area. Between Belfast and Haul Rd is pretty much just gravel road along the Stop Bank now days, still good for an open blast on an XR.

I'm up in Hanmer this weekend with the whanau so I'm out.
Last weekends trailride at Flock Hill was awesome with some very challenging enduro options (scary hillclimbs).
Carl I will hopefully see you at Port Levy ride, should be a good one.

yer Ok..I may turn up...
Why not meet up about 11am at weedons ross rd somewhere...

Ok, how about this, just to try to consolidate all plans into one.

For those that are keen to ride out by the river, meet at the end of Weedons Ross Rd, in the car park at 11am. Here http://goo.gl/maps/e9sXB

Then we'll go for a hoon up to about Intake Rd, here http://goo.gl/maps/QnV4S

There's lots of choice track wise, twisty or open, and it saves 2 different groups hoping to bump into each other somewhere out in the trees.

I'm heading out with Ewen so there'll be at least two 2 smokers out there

Sound good? Any other ideas, let us know.

Hope to see you out there!

Do ya want to meet at Peg at 10.30 Pete if you on right side of town for it - take the gravel road up - or anyone else ? (yah can do shingle road all way up to intake and beyond if you don't want to do single track)

[Transalper]

Yep, good ride, one of mine blinker bulbs quit too, but it's still there.
Also quite impressed on how well Pete went with the XT660 in there.

Fantastic ride today folks, thanks very much for the company.

My hat's off to all of you guys on the bigger bikes, even on my little fizzer I had trouble keeping up with you guys in the tight twisties in the trees! I think that says a lot, not only about your great riding but also about mine

Definitely the prize of the day goes to Pete on the heaviest bike of the day, you made it look bloody easy man!

[pete-blen]

LOL... got in the door , lay on the bed... next I know it's 3 hours later..

was a great day...lot of fun.. that real tight section though the trees gave me a bit of grief.. don't
think mr yamaha designed the XT for that.. But that type of rideing is where the
rekluse clutch realy shines..

thanks guys...

I'm with pete-blen going through the tight twisty trees I didn't know if the handle bars would fit between some of them.
I had a great time though, the last part of the ride out over all that loose rock is always an eye opener forgot to keep the weight on the rear wheel

Ha ha, I did the same kinda thing. Got home, hopped in the bath, felt all the aches and pains dissolve away!

I was wondering how that clutch would fare today with all the On and Off the throttle, you certainly seemed to be loving it :-)
