End of Spring MTB Ride - Chiltern Hills

It's been a long time coming, but Dan Black and myself got out for an excellent ride today in the Chiltern Hills. Makes a nice change riding bridleways again rather than trail centres (good though they are, reckon you get to see more by doing this type of ride). Definitely recommend this route if...

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 .

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...

7 Stanes / Kielder Enduro

Nick, Jason and Guy have been up in that Scottish place called Scotland riding the 7 Stanes (not sure which ones but looks like a lot of riding) last week. As well as nailing the Kielder Enduro ("we started at 9am and finished at 3pm with no real stopping" said Geee). They've put a load...

Lake Sumner Ride

Went out on an awesome ride last weekend, along the edge of Lake Taylor and Lake Sumner, a couple of hours north-west of ChCh. The drive in was pretty mental really - once you get off the sealed road, it's very windy, very rough gravel with plenty fords to cross (although many of them were dry this...
