Canterbury foothills & skip in Coleridge Village (Sunday 20th)

[T.W.R]

Ride out to the foothills with a detour into Coleridge Village next Sunday

Meet 10am at Princess Margaret Hospital

Head out towards the hills via Tai Tapu through to Dunsandel then inland to Hororata (stop a pie & drink).
From Hororata upto Coleridge Village (one way in & out) then back around onto the scenic highway to Oxford
turn inland to Ashley gorge and follow the road through to Rangiora
and back to ChCh.

Roughly 300km loop
5 fuel options along the way

Easy ride for bikes big or small

Checked it out today with Deviant Esq, Helenoftroy, and her lad Sam
had a damn good ride with good company on a brilliant day

yeah yeah rub it in

And Nah it's above the white posts plus the fish a farked this time of year that far up the river, the flesh is like mushy shit

[Transalper]

So sad, if you like shingle and dirt it makes a nice loop route out via Lake Lyndon, none of this one way in & out stuff.
Oh well, as you were.

[SDU]

Sounds like a nice change of scenery for a ride - may have to do it another time as I'll be stuck at work.
Have a good one.

[Skyryder]

Yep it's nice country up that way. Just not too sure if I'm a go'er or not.

It was a brilliant day,and like T.W.R says just fine for bikes big and small.Some of the newer riders would really enjoy this ride me thinks
T.W.R is a great riding buddy

That wasn't the only thing you mentioned there were a couple of comments of Oh I've never been on that road before & never travelled back from there on that road either

Liked Deviant's comment at Coleridge " Just riding along soaking up the scenery"

Adventure riders lols that road is the main highway compared to tracks I know around the area from 4WD & Tramping
But yeah a Tiger is on the list of options

[Subike]

I've never known any of the locals to be sedate on any ride The GP styled trips to the Brass used to be worth watching years ago especially the LeMans start at the clock tower

[QRUZN]

Sounds like a very cool ride. Will do my best to make it.
