Nelson Rideouts - Where next?

**Woodman** · 2nd November 2008, 19:23

Went for a quick hoon over the maungatap this afty, has someone been in there and dug big holes all over the place or something recently?? . Found a cool river crossing on Pelorous side steep into a creek then straight up out of the creek, good fun. Will get a new front tyre this week , too many scary moments.

They've been working on the 1st pylon track this week.

It is a good crossing.
You need good tyres, momentum and revs to get back up that slope

Someone to help push is good too.

Yes there's some potential there...

But the reality was, warmer than anticipated...

Okay tosspots

I need some advice

are there any good rides in Golden Bay.

On Ryans site there is Dry Rd/Crown Rd and Aorere goldfields track - are they any good?

Any other rides over there worth investigating??

Well if your gonna be like that I wont tell you about the Cobb Dam Rd, Bird Rd or Totaranui Rd

I'll see if I can get some time to put some more on over the weekend. The pressure is mounting for me to do some more on the web site. If nothing else I try and create some KML files. Dry Rd is a good gravel Rd with a river crossing (dont have to do and it is about 3/4 of the way south) and some awesome scenery but it is an in and out ride. Aorere is a rutted dirt track that is not so scenic but much more challenging.

Try birds clearing-all gravel but great view or Parapara lookout

-a slipery when wet sidetrack with a great view. Also you can't go past the regular rides down to big river on the west coast (past Anatori) or into the cobb valley. if you want a guide/company over that way theres plenty of crazy locals that don't need much encouragement

(PM me).

FFS. Underground your closest, shut the gate !!!!!!

No, but seriosly you could spend a couple of days over there exploring,Dry roads a must do.
What Cooney said, there's others, including Barrons flat
