Nelson Rideouts - Where next?

[Woodman]

I'm out, house stuff, bike in bits, possible softcockitis.

[topo]

how far up the track does that slippery sonofabitch little hill go before it eases off? that one deff needs completing!!!

[Underground]

That slippery sonofabitch isnt as slippery as it was cause the 4x4's have been using it and after that rise it becomes more stony but also more technical . Easier from the Elaine end though

[Padmei]

All I can manage is Maunga tomm but slippery sounds like a must do with a new tyre..

[warewolf]

Will see if I can get there. Bike is still dirty with DOT knobblies fitted, ideal for some Maungatapu side tracks

Went through the track about 1 month ago in the 4wd, seemed doable on the bike easy enough, the Penzance end was a bit slippery and steep, is that the bit that turned you around Underground?.
Also did a couple of pylon tracks coming out of Okiwi bay that would be "interesting" on a bike

[Underground]

Theres a climb thats rutted clay with random rocks on it ,I could have had another go with a bit more gusto but Im no spring chicken you know and I was feeling a bit rooted at that stage

[NordieBoy]

Faaark....
Rostered on @ work Easter saturday, found out today, and I don't like my chances of swapping with anyone
Still got my leave for Anzac w/end though, 6 days

Anzac is better for me too.
Probably down in Dunnyden over Easter.

Went for a ride yesterday with Topo ver the maunga. Topo got a flat front so he had to ride all the way back to crazyfrogs with the front wheel in the air. Pretty hard going downhill like that

Anyway you know how some days you have an average ride then somedays you're on fire - well yesteray I had one of the best rides ever The weather was great - not too hot not too cold, no traction probs - in fact I think rooted MT21 front tyres could be a new performance phonomeonenen -phenonemenon -thingy.

Murphys law is always present on your ride & the only time I encountered two way traffic was on the slipperiest steep shaley parts of the track No probs though due to the aforementioned front tyre & the E09 on the back which is really excellent on that type of surface.

So as you were just wanted to share...

Good stuff! Some days it just all comes together.

Only saw the ride post after it had happened

Went for fush and chups and Murray McLean was at the Sprig & Fern having just come over the Maungatapu on a Matchless 500 and Royal Enfield 350.

Now that Royal Enfield is an adventure bike

[warewolf]

He rode two bikes over the Maungatapu??
