Nevis Road 23rd March.
Dumped it on a creek crossing, right hand down, sort of a drop rather than a fall. Managed to hit the off button before she sucked in water. Got the pig back on her feet with an adrenaline filled dead lift (@Sierra). On the limit of a solo trip with a bike this big IMHO.
Pics in Sequence...
1. Duffers saddle 1300m
2. Classic Central Otago landscape
3. Ford # 17?

yeah i was taking the piss going through there on me todd. but...heap fun
Last day inside, time to go playing with the bike. Dang I missed that in the winter. The province has some dirt piles along the shore in case of a dike breakthrough. They are perfect for the S10. Reasonably hard, grass covered, several meters high, different gradients and hight’s.

Spring is here! and I had a very good day riding through my mountains for the first time in the year as the snow and the ice have gone away.

A buddy took me out yesterday to see how high we could get before hitting the snow level. We headed out to Cowiche Mill road first. We went back quite a ways until my buddy wanted to stop because it got too rocky for him. I went ahead to check it out and it reminded me of the pictures people post about the WABDR and the dreaded babyhead rock hill. I was told this trail leads to or is part of the WABDR route. It wasn't too bad going up, but coming down was a little more sketchy. Very loose with the moving rocks. By the time we got to that section we had gone thru several areas with snow, ice and mud covering the road. We will have to wait for another month or 2 to continue on.
We then headed over to BBQ Flats west of Wenas which was closed off for another month or so. We tried going to the Manastash Observatory which had double gates blocking access. I think the sign said May 1st for the opening. After that closure we headed over to Manastash road and headed to Quartz mtn. We got stopped after going thru several sections of snow, ice and mud by solid snow and ice covering the road at about 3300 feet elevation. It'll probably be sometime in June before we can get to Quartz Mtn
Cowiche Mill road
I know it doesn't look steep but it is and just around the corner is where the baseball sized babyhead rock section starts.
Wenas lake
We went by a big flock of Turkeys (15-20) pretty quickly. Several were showing all of the tail feathers spread out. By the time I turned around and got stopped for the picture, they all ran off. These were really camera shy.
BBQ Flats parking lot
This is the road to the Manastash Observatory. Note the big yellow gate in the background.
This is on Manastash road headed to Quartz mtn.
And the end of this road for us today. Up past the bare section is solid snow and ice. There were tracks in the mud from recent 4x4's with chains on. Another good sign to stop our forward movement.
