• McCleans Island – short and fast

  The girly legs must go before winter gets here. And there’s not long now. We’ve got a few days of ChCh’s bizarre Nor’wester weather at the moment – so where recently it’s been around 0c in the morning, it was back up to 26c today. Been meaning to head...

• Connecting the Dots

  Finally got myself out for a ride today – incredible weather, 25c and bright blue skies. As I’d not been out on a proper ride for, erm, let me see, 10 months or so?!

Bit like riding the wrong way upThe Gap in Brecon Beacons. Ugh. Still, we...

• Night Rider

  Just been out on my first night ride up in the port hills. Borrowed somebody's home-made light, attached to helmet, 2kg battery in camelbak. Think there were about 15 of us, more girls than blokes. Up Rapaki again and godDamn was it a killer this time... Posted May 23 2007, 09:45 PM by le_sloth with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: MTB, New Zealand, Mountain Biking, Christchurch

  Chairlift preachers Originally uploaded by le_sloth . From this weekend's newspaper: "Young Christian snowboarders are using chairlifts to deliver unsolicited six-minute sermons in an effort to spread the word of God among fellow skiers."

• Bottle Lake Forest and Lyttelton Summer Festival

  Started the weekend at the Canterbury Farmers Market , where I for once managed to resist the temptation to buy loads of cheeses (in fact I didn't even try any of them on offer!). Picked up some amazing fresh sauces - pasta, curry etc., finally found...

The start of the weekend was marked by heavy rain at exactly 6pm on Friday - great the way the weather does that here! This is supposed to be mid summer and I'd say we...

  Just uploaded a load of photos from recent day trips we've done around Christchurch. Am loving the new, more accurate way of GeoTagging my Flickr photos . A work of genius.

• Godley Head Track, ChCh - Loving that!

  Funny how a change in the weather and the other side of the hills can give such a different riding experience. I've just been out on the Eastern side of the Port Hills to ride from Evans Pass to Godley Head and back. Absolute genius. Spot on, perfect...
