Welcome to 2010

There has not been much happening on the riding scene for most people. I see Mellonfarmer has been out and I got a couple of rides on my holiday. The first was up the Marahau-Motueka Hill. Good gnarly road climb and then left into the Kaiteriteri forest. Down the fire road and into Big Mommas Kitchen. Down and out and the next good one was Kaiteriteri MTB trails. These are sweet in the dry and have been extended since the boyz were her in October. There is a couple of connecting tracks that will take you up for some downhill runs. I had some fun and then back to camp. A couple of road cruisers with the family also.

Wednesday I hooked up with Phatboy outside the Physios. (My hand is feeling much better). We cruised off on Grandad and the 3 speed. Stopped at the Sandrich for a beer with the Wednesday Lads, then jumped on the bikes and checked out a bar on Selwyn St for another beer. All good but we were on a mission. On the bikes and headed to the Silverfoxes for another beer with him and Di. 3 beers, a couple of puffs and 2 games of pool later we jumped on the bikes for a blast home. Headed into the easterly pushing as hard as our legs could. Lovely to be back on the bikes. Looking forward to some ride time on Sunday.

Meet at mine 9.15. Could be a longer ride just to punish us for being slack. Up Huntsbury and then point towards Godley. Weather dependant of course.

Important Notice. Silverfox is now 50. The oldest but not the slowest.
