Mildred up for sale!

Yes, I’ve given in to pressure and decided it’s finally time to let Mildred go her own way. I think she’ll be happy to stay in NZ. We’ve had an awesome innings together, but now it’s time for me to get something newererer. Let’s just hope I get a decent price for her – watch the auction here .

This is what a closed day at Mt Hutt can look like ....

Watch the video It’s been like that for a few days now – glad I’m not stuck up there!

Mt Hutt - Winter 2009 Day 3

Here we go with another day up the local mountain, hadn't been for a couple of weeks, so much to do with the move back to the other side! Sloth's Report on GoneBoarding

Mt Hutt - Winter 2009 Day 2

Straight in no kissing, here we go with a beaut of a day, just 4 days after the first. No time for girly legs this time round. So I took 2 randoms off SnowPool again - oh dear oh dear. So the first one gets in and pretty much says nothing at all from leaving my road all the way to the mountain. The other...

Mt Hutt - Winter 2009 Day 1

I almost ran out of time, but there was no way I wasn't going riding in June, especially as Mt Hutt had been open since the end of May! Got someone from Snowpool to come up for the day, which was all good. Must've been a bit excited/Alain/whatever on the way up as went to overtake a coach on...

It’s snowing at last!

We’re a full month into the season and this Sloth still hasn’t been up the mountain yet! Things are finally looking up though, up the top, right up there. 10cm freshies overnight, still snowing now and more looking likely for next couple of days. All of this with no wind makes Sloth a happy Sloth. Just...

It’s not over till Dumpy says so!

[I realised I never posted this little story from the arse-end of Winter 2008, so it is…] It’s the end of October, I’d just about packed everything away until next season and was convincing myself to get the bike out. But then I saw the weather for the long weekend – a cold sou’wester making its way...

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 over to McCleans for a while as an alternative to...

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?! I’d decided on a “drive to the top and ride along without too much climbing” type ride. Got back into it so much though, that I ended up...
