Ahh well he slacked off huhinzane said:No, ilmp was not with us. The flickr photos have some Warfedale shots from last time I was out there with ilmp (including one of ilmp halfway down a bank with his bike), but it will just be the fact that a lot of south island beech forest trails look similar that will be making it look like Warfedale. The mission I was on is a lot more technical riding and involves a fair bit of hike-a-bike.
There will still be some of that mountain water in my camelbak. I doubt it is tasting quite as fresh as yesterday by now tho!!![]()
I think ilmp was actually out riding the Warfedale with some others.trailadvent said:Ahh well he slacked off huh
Yeah the SI is timeless and has a habit of all looking similar but stunning! haha will have to look up that one of ilmp
Yeah Southerners are tough as hell, you're all bought up on goat turd Ive gotten soft up here dam itCan ya take a dog up in that country, or are they a little PC protective would love to get my boy on some extended long range trips eventually?
That Bullock Bow saddle looks pretty mean, bet it would fun coming down :thumbsup:
I hear ya on the water!![]()
Nah, it is a scree slide. If you could be bothered getting to the top of it I am sure it would be fun to scoot down!! Trouble with scree is that for every step you take up the slope you tend to slide at least a step backwards in the soft shingle...rmac said:Great pics. In the 5th picture (1st river pic) is that a granite slab in the background? If so, BZ will be chomping at the bit to roll it!![]()
Just when I start thinking of us as normal, pictures like this reassure me that mountain bikers are crazy.inzane said:

Not sure about dogs up in there. Possibly not?? It is in a state forest, so if you can find the rules of what is and is not allowed then you might find out. Here in NZ there is a blanket policy of no bikes in National Parks, but there are quite different rules on pieces of land designated as state forest.
Bullock Bow is just steep 4wd track. Good for a day out, but the beech forest singletrack is waaaaay more fun!!
Yes, but that is crazy in a good way. This sort of craziness is exactly what keeps my life sane... :thumbsup:William42 said:Just when I start thinking of us as normal, pictures like this reassure me that mountain bikers are crazy.
