Nelson Rideouts - Where next?

[Underground]

If anyone is keen on the Altimarloch Patrirch thing on sat (A&P ride ?) Im looking at being in Picton for some sustenance at 10.30 ,and leaving Blenheim for mt A at 12 ,then mabe turning onto northbank road for mt P round 3 ish

[warewolf]

Well I'm in, I have a leave pass and I'm not afraid to use it

Under-G, could we hook up somewhere en-route to Picton? Rai, Pelorus or something? Might do the Maunga on the way over.

Looks like I'm out

I'll be mapping the trails up Central/Slater's Roads instead.
Central, Slaters and Top Road are public easments but Top Road isn't on the gps maps (yet).

Also to my mind they've closed off public easments without the prerequisite signage...

[warewolf]

Yes, pretty sure they have erected their 'keep out' signs though.

I've spent a fair bit of time exploring in there. There's some neat-ish loops to be done, and a few tracks I won't try on the Adventure without a friend

A lot of cool riding in that forest Nordie! Oh well gonna get on the MTB & do the coppermine track tmm morning so I'll be knackered tomm nite.

Off topic but "rockingrolla" is a great movie if you're looking at something to watch this weekend.

Are there any uphills?

I don't like uphills. Downhills arn't favored either. I like engine braking.

Was invited to do that with a mate on Sunday... can't get a leave pass, and I'm not fit enough at the moment. Gotta do it sometime soon.

[Padmei]

I'm not really very fit either that's why I'm doing it. Funny how I find it easier to get a leave pass to go mtbing then motoing. I wonder if it is because I suffer on the mtb?

Hills? hills? aint no hills around here

Yep see you there ,our plan has changed a bit as Mountie has caught an earlier ferry ,so we will head straight to Altimarloch via Blenheim ( with a breakie stop of course ) which means we will also be early for Patrirch and gives us time to ride Onamalutu once or mabe twice ? .
Yipee more gravel time less tarmac !
