Into Thompsons #1 behind some walkers, who had moved over for a rider coming up who'd moved over for them and me... nice flow onwards from there then down road, through Kiwi, and up road towards the burned zone... Good to get a look at it all. Burned completely up the cliff below the Mt Ada spot I'd gotten to previously. Moseyed around past the Bellbird and Kennedy's Bush, and found some good blackberries, had a feed, continued on riding around and up road, then hit the radar golfball road, under gate and up steep to corner, then up to security gate. Surprised there's so little in the way of Keep Out Private Property signs... Check out over a cliff at the view and drop, and spotted a nice patch of bush below. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Back down the access road, fast, then cruisy coast down road to corner where I ducked into the bush, parked bike and wandered. A kereru flying along the track got a hell of a surprise when it saw me and slammed on the brakes, effectively hovering at head level before diving off down the hill. I wandered a little further, lovely tall bush, and came up on 3 really nice totara. Back to the bike and back on the road, cruise cruise cruise, climb, descend, cruise descend, getting good clips on the downs. Through Kiwi, traffic negotiation and climbing up to Thompsons #1 again, climbing this and walking at the end. Down round, across Rabbit paddock, rocks, cleaning all (in front of an audience too), then gums, gums gums. Out to 19th, below road for a bit then rolling, and into DogParkCarPark for a nice roll out down through and out To Harry Ell to road and home.</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">A fun and fruitful 17.3 kms with 521 m c<a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7820335267">limb</a>ed</div> swtchbckrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894499610659880760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658065.post-18320155510432439502024-03-10T12:42:00.001+13:002024-03-12T09:25:00.511+13:00Sunday Uppy Downy Locals<div dir="auto">Pretty warm Sunday morning, headed out on the Rocky, up into Vic, usual road, 19th, skidder, and dropped straight down into Razza's, sweet wee droppy goodness. Hung a sharp right and took a short climb up to intersection and dropped over into lower-Pedalfine, top section looking unridden, lots of leaf litter, then below the 4wd, took a line I'd not gone before, with a wee surprise drop in it - requiring an emergency weight-shift-rearwards. Finished off through to bottom of Brents before the fence, and hung a left into that horrible steep climb up next to Brent's, up the fenceline towards the 40fter, walking a bunch. Some sheep in here were Snaped-Sent--to-be-Solved. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Into Sneaky Ridge (checking out the new bunny entrance on the left but not riding it), down through the rocky sections and then into the oaks, not yet getting loose with acorn ballbearings. On exit, the new landing from the fence jump is dumb, way less of a challenge than of old. Down and thru nuBridges, rolling down valley to Hidden Valley bonus climb. Up the grunty pines, under the pylons and onto Old Skool for a good rest and some water at the high point and a rider rode through. I let him get a head start and then entered into my own rip roaring blast down here. Kinda gained on him, but kinda not. Rutsville lower down, then lower squiggles all good, getting tired, rolling out and straight up valley for the climb. At the gates I haeded up the walking, steps to zig zag, riding a little on the couple of flatter bits, but mostly pushing. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">At the cattlestop had a rest in the shade and snack here, then got rolling back down Hidden - not bad in this direction, not as fast as I hoped, then up valley and into the evil fucker K2 - walked the steepest, then across the singletrack bit below Texaco, then up the main the rest of the way with lots of breaks in the shade. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Topped up water at Skidder - lots of riders around (due to the Park being shut still). then took the old (lower gums?) trails through to 19th, then below road to Tawhairanui exit onto road, coasting roll the the dogparkcarpark, then fun 235 swoopy swoopy jump jump, around and climb to road again, up, to finishing off with the blast behind the houses</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Less than 10 kms with <a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7808839309">only </a>385 m climbed! - felt like quite a lot more.</div> swtchbckrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894499610659880760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658065.post-5807537805758329872024-03-01T18:25:00.000+13:002024-03-12T11:56:16.132+13:00Friday Night Single Speedy<div dir="auto">Up and back in 50 minutes from 5, on the frankenlunker. High-intensity, skills-testing blast on the rigid singlespeed kruiser beater bruiser BFe. Up the usual, over 19th, and a brief walk up from skidder. Up through Brakef, nearly to top of Vic and down the Thomson number 1. Back up the road, and the short climb up to the stone covered seat, scoffed a few blackberries and chilled a bit, hot and puffing. Then into the descent. around by passing the jumps and seesaw, compliment from a climbing biker ("nice bike," "yah! fun!" replied) bomb down to rockgarden, through the gums, blazing, through the lower reaches out to 19th, below the road, through to Tawhairanui intersection back onto road and coasting down to 235, into this for the groooviness, all the way to H'Ell and onto the road down around past Takahe and clambering back up to home.</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Beefy; just under 6 kms and 224 m of cl<a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7793045758">imbing grin</a>d.</div> swtchbckrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894499610659880760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658065.post-21398405804877622842024-02-25T16:15:00.001+13:002024-02-26T09:42:13.782+13:00Sunday Vic, Traverse, HuntsburyDH and Back<div dir="auto">Nelson met at mine at about nine and we headed up the usual climbing route through Vic to the top. Stopped in the rabbit paddock for a good look at the damage in the CAP, then moseyed the rest of the way to the top. I was feeling a little tired/under-the-weather due to a hefty bbq the night before, but survived the thrawl. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Dropped into the Traverse and cruised across the top, meeting quite a few on-coming riders. Stopped at the top of Huntsbury DH and sat for a while, as many groups or riders, obviously regulars to the Park, tried to negotiate their way around the hill. Too many skids observed - learn to fucking brake properly you muppets! We set off down Huntsbury DH, which I didn't ride very well, tho managed it okay, jumping the first third and last. Second one is just too rutted now. Nice flowy through the fast tussocks then across the landing strip and over the singletrack around (not over the Rocky one), then down down down. Again, jumps were skipped or ridden depending my vibe, which wasn't feeling up to much. I think cos I was a little under the weather. Got to the bottom and began the slog back up, all the way to the road, where we hit back on the Traverse. Another good run around here, tho all the ups were really making be blow.</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Across over the jumpies, see-saw and top section of Brakefree, then into across into the Rockgarden and gums for a sweet-ass flow down my local trails, all the way through like my last SS ride and under the 19th down the road, coasting smooth, then dived straight into the DogParkCarPark235 for a flowy cruisy bomb, again, allll the way down to H'Ell and clamber back to road the last bomb to home..</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"><a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7783463266">Satisfactory </a>13.5 kms and 485 m climbed.</div> swtchbckrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894499610659880760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658065.post-27115356934285570272024-02-22T22:02:00.001+13:002024-02-23T15:24:36.691+13:00Thursday Super Short Sunset Singlespeed Resurrection<div dir="auto">Fixed a flat on the BFe earlier in the week and so finally got out to try the new Velo Orange Seine bars iu'c chucked on it months ago. Just over 2 years (!) since I last pushed this <a href="http://swtchbckr.blogspot.com/2022/02/friday-lunch-hour-singlemindmeldspeed.html">sucker</a> up the hill! </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Headed up the road and instantly decided the stem was way too short so bombed back down, hunted around and found a longer Charge one that'd come off the fatty originally. Chucked that on, having to raw-dog the top-bearing, which seems to work (tho leaves it wide open for dirt), and got riding. High intensity climbing ensued, riding hard up to the level, but it felt great! Through skidder and almost immediately walking the climb, took a diagonal right hander, up crossing Brake Free at the jump below the wallride and on up into the gums. Clambered up through the rocks and across the rabbit paddock to my sunset seat. Had a beer. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfpFr_9D9G4oSzxT62YgqBlTsdtKEJrUXNy82Vo_r8J5VzK9kZmIWyA1iLG0xAmzRcFV1JGy6A_bJt6eVAo9zE-A2JBi1L7JLln6HoIFFfsrDiFfU6TvgO53Pob2CN3-guun08VshW5ozIzeKS_WZ-Y26atuMmoLiV70IhqEJFQT2mmnVzYHePxg/s4096/IMG_20240222_201210.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfpFr_9D9G4oSzxT62YgqBlTsdtKEJrUXNy82Vo_r8J5VzK9kZmIWyA1iLG0xAmzRcFV1JGy6A_bJt6eVAo9zE-A2JBi1L7JLln6HoIFFfsrDiFfU6TvgO53Pob2CN3-guun08VshW5ozIzeKS_WZ-Y26atuMmoLiV70IhqEJFQT2mmnVzYHePxg/w400-h300/IMG_20240222_201210.jpg" width="400" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfpFr_9D9G4oSzxT62YgqBlTsdtKEJrUXNy82Vo_r8J5VzK9kZmIWyA1iLG0xAmzRcFV1JGy6A_bJt6eVAo9zE-A2JBi1L7JLln6HoIFFfsrDiFfU6TvgO53Pob2CN3-guun08VshW5ozIzeKS_WZ-Y26atuMmoLiV70IhqEJFQT2mmnVzYHePxg/s4096/IMG_20240222_201210.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHIDfSZuKjY3NhK3X6f8oz6Umj6vvbNvjOoZK_i1SUR0fvCMgeS5Zj3Ivwl-W5DMuspsy9ASV3hiC6FKYTbT5RtvFH28UfI34IueTZLlA8qVwMAA-tYpuyObQFISowelflR7VLrHVUahn_g7Lx-8ikQWFQiYblEXqwO2z6hTTg7jFmQh8kEeyYUg/s4096/IMG_20240222_202556.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHIDfSZuKjY3NhK3X6f8oz6Umj6vvbNvjOoZK_i1SUR0fvCMgeS5Zj3Ivwl-W5DMuspsy9ASV3hiC6FKYTbT5RtvFH28UfI34IueTZLlA8qVwMAA-tYpuyObQFISowelflR7VLrHVUahn_g7Lx-8ikQWFQiYblEXqwO2z6hTTg7jFmQh8kEeyYUg/w400-h300/IMG_20240222_202556.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><br /></div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Watched the sun sink behind the horizon and got riding again, back down the rock garden and into the trees, back and forth across, bike so light and nimble, bars comfy and wide.

Dropped down to Harry Ell and onto the Dyers Pass Rd and pedalled. It's actually not that bad mostly, just a couple of narrow sections cars cant pass safely, but mostly there's almost a lane, in the gutter, that you can stay left of the white line. Got to the Kiwi and nope, no go - cones, Road Closed, a cop car on the other side, and a dude on this side saying, "sorry". So, back down to home, cop on my tail for a bit of it, and peeled home - <a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7771225978">just under </a>7 kilometres done, 250 m climbed. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Rocky away, Troll out, change of shoes and off down Longhurst, carrying and wheeling down the steps, carrying up the steps and onto Holliss Ave, ooh, rear tyre a little low, sketchy... Down, crossed over Centaurus onto Sloan, over the bridge, back around the bottom of the Loop onto Eastern Tce along to next pedestrian bridge, then over into the park where I put some air in the tyre (in the shade). From here up onto Centaurus, around and right, then into the wee alley way through to Korimiko, Wilsons, Beckford, through the NW carpark to Wades/Prossers, alleyway to Derrick, over the bridge, Ford, then around the river on that side to the next bike bridge, Sheldon, Radley Park, along the tow path, over the motorway bridge back to the northside of the river and Towpath all the way around to Ferrymead Bridge.

Parked up in Scumnervale and set off around the foot of the hill, briefly stopping to feast on blackberries before skedoodling up the old skool Captain Thomas and the rest. Next it was the long slog up the road to the pines, onto the Shit Track for a short climb to the road, around to and up, slogging on the gravel on Broadleaf to the top of Pleasant for a good view back up the harbour to the Port Hills Fire 2.0. <div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Into the descent and fark it was bony! Nelson pinged off every single rock there was. I had some good flow on, weaving and twisting - all the while being careful not to crash given the wounds I'm nursing after my commuting crash last Friday in the wet. Meandering around the new fence infrastruction, and through the ruins, and into some hard work descending, majorly fatigued by halfway and we needed a break. Out of practice obviously. Into the lower reaches and the weed-eaten grass was fairly off putting, and, thinking it would be slippery - neither of us wanted to push it too hard, but otherwise I dont think we were any slower than usual. Nice flow otherwise. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Finally, the Captain. Whooee. Great blast down here, cleaning all the usual cleany stuff and blazing away.

As I climbed, looking back at Lyttelton I could see through the mist a new pack of floaters ship being docked down at the port. The mist was hugging the valleys and tops towards Gebbies. Up Worsleys Rd and I hit the top of the Nun at 7am, deciding on the Nun (rather than the Gnarly) and dropped into the descent - taking this pic first... <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhaTx-ZmyqbaWAuzxvIBL0XnTPmG7W-fNmx2-SCaOfB2Z3Y5aT2-ZzAKcEe0tBIT7d-ZbmNjWKhgRE38OYVnZ1Eq3JKzdxlS1CXOwPWX4qp3tPxBKjiwD2SKtE5sIRb_2Psq6mkXcXUvWyB-nNeC0yrfIS8DKp5Bbgg4nJ6NK3HjaCtJttXRs8iQ/s4096/IMG_20240131_070027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhaTx-ZmyqbaWAuzxvIBL0XnTPmG7W-fNmx2-SCaOfB2Z3Y5aT2-ZzAKcEe0tBIT7d-ZbmNjWKhgRE38OYVnZ1Eq3JKzdxlS1CXOwPWX4qp3tPxBKjiwD2SKtE5sIRb_2Psq6mkXcXUvWyB-nNeC0yrfIS8DKp5Bbgg4nJ6NK3HjaCtJttXRs8iQ/w400-h300/IMG_20240131_070027.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>and <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo5MV_iDlWCH7SHynXkb2z4HBgmv7cSjOet5oXkaW2mRYTgbHRJQ5ijVa-cdq6v2wrrKFzmXhT_jP0y3Bam-ZwuLQqGAC33zCrS6njG9eEAmSmExvy2xyEnEdRF8Rbkmr9DiEUdyL1QbvjQ9WQMF7RyDtmJ91TWOtqa0OAKCfGIVtV5k9zDErk0w/s4096/IMG_20240131_065821.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo5MV_iDlWCH7SHynXkb2z4HBgmv7cSjOet5oXkaW2mRYTgbHRJQ5ijVa-cdq6v2wrrKFzmXhT_jP0y3Bam-ZwuLQqGAC33zCrS6njG9eEAmSmExvy2xyEnEdRF8Rbkmr9DiEUdyL1QbvjQ9WQMF7RyDtmJ91TWOtqa0OAKCfGIVtV5k9zDErk0w/w400-h300/IMG_20240131_065821.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>Railing around the 2nd rocky corner I started losing it on the rocks. Dew from grass coupled with dust from trail were conspiring to give me fuck all grip! Yikes! Nearly cooked it but got rolling again and was slightly more wary of the shitshow rocky corners. Swooped through the swoopy bits and faffed around through some of the faffy bits, into the lower reaches, pumping and flowing sweet. Across the Kiwi again and up the road, plodwise to the top of Vic, swooping in down around through the jumps, very nicely popped, and over the see saw, railed through the first of Brakefree then peeled out down the rabbit paddock, into rocks, gums, bombing, all the way down to 19th, below the road, back up onto it, into 235 swoop swoop over cooking and nearly losing it then jumpity jump and down out through.

Finished the fun by sliding into the GDS trail for a fun wee bomb down some rooty tech back to the cycle path, and back the way I'd come.</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">15 kms round trip, with 530 m climbed. <a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7721787349">Not bad.</a></div> swtchbckrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894499610659880760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658065.post-5701220604041186792024-01-16T21:50:00.001+13:002024-02-14T09:32:30.816+13:00Tuesday Knuckle Sandwich<div dir="auto">Drove myself round to Whanganui Inlet and parked up to ride Knuckle Hill track. Very nice easy climb, sometimes granny steep but kinda rolling a lot too and a couple of downhills before final climb to an intersection; Kaituna route straight ahead and Knuckle Hill to the left. Rode 150 or so m til I couldn't anymore and then started walking, sans bike, up up up trudgery climbing into semi alpine, to the 506m summit. Spectacular views 360 degrees - the back of Mt Burnett (dolomite mine) and right round down the west coast, Mangarakau swamp, Whanganui (Westhaven) Inlet, Kaihoka Lakes, Wharariki, Farewell. Walked back down and back on the bike and bomb bomb bomb... able to get way faster than was comfortable, wide quad bike track, climbs were nice and short. Met one walking lady (german?) and continued on.

We parked at the bottom of Rameka valley and rode up the Historic Pack Track (one I'd only ever ridden down <a href="http://swtchbckr.blogspot.com/2018/10/saturday-2nd-trip-ride-rameka.html">once before</a>). Great climb, out the top of the Project and up the gravel road to bottom end of the Rameka proper. Into the Packtrack, me on Tony's tail for a start, thinking I might be slower on the fatty, but no. Asked if maybe I could take the lead and then took off, hauling. Great hoon down, then over into Great Expectations for a switchback city wunder-ride. Loads of fun. At the bottom, into the Klicks for some good times and eventually back to the car.<div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"><a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7715826097">Hot stuff</a>, 13kms with 526m clambered</div></div> swtchbckrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894499610659880760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658065.post-23537691159128327972024-01-14T19:56:00.001+13:002024-01-20T21:57:58.195+13:00Sunday Aorere Golden Hour<div dir="auto">Steep hot today. Parked at the end of road past Devil's Boots, and got riding, up the 4wd track. Steep bastard that. Only one tiny bit walked, managed to ride the rest, with lost of rests. Fricking hot, but early enough that there were shadows to lurk in. Took the second shortest route, (not straight to the caves) but up to Druggan's dam for a good rest in the shade. Then on down the water race track, more overgrown than in the past, and getting a bit more tech. Dropped down to Ballroom cave, had a poke around, then back up and onwards for the fun bomb down. Techy rutty good, then mega rocketship blast down the last smooth bombsville. Final wide section passed a couple of walkers then bomb down to car.</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"><a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7714147876">Golden</a>, 9.3 kms and 260m climbed</div> swtchbckrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894499610659880760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658065.post-37212904112716633022024-01-13T15:09:00.001+13:002024-01-20T22:03:52.095+13:00Saturday Para Para Golden Steel<div dir="auto">Druv round across the inlet and parked up. Rode up the road and into the steep hot dirt, climbing up all the way to the seat view. Very hot and dripping. Bombed down to the singletrack and leaped in. Rutty to start which caught me out a little, resulting in a weird tip off unable to clip out just after catching my wrist on a branch. Rolling again, more carefully this time, cruising, rolling down and through. Lots of little explores and findings of interesting features and then out the exit and along the gravel back to the car. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"><a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7712588572">Fun fun</a>, just under 9 kms, 250 m climbed</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Couple days before this, I rode along the beach to the Excellent St walkway, carried the bike up the steps, steep as fuck, hot as fuck, and up onto Excellent St for the cruise down past the historic cemetery and into Gibbs and down this to town back round to the house... a <a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7709746177">short </a>4 kms with under 100 m climbed.</div> swtchbckrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894499610659880760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658065.post-63545197694740235972024-01-08T20:53:00.000+13:002024-01-24T09:55:02.008+13:00Monday Short Fat Dusty Climb; Car Pick-up<div dir="auto">In the morning we drove up to top of Waiharakeke track and walked 8 kms <a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7704947344">back to Totes</a>.

Hot stuff. Ground up the valley, stopping many times for breathers but cleaning the whole lot. It was HOT, so shade was sought regularly. Didnt see many cars. Once up on the summit there was a little more cloud cover and now and then, and then I peeled onto the ridgeline, long grass and very runny poo, walking a bunch, eventually seeing the herd of cows, steers, a bull and some calfs hanging around towards the end of the ridge paddock. Over the fence and up then across, and then up up to the top of View Hill, practically IN the cloud, tho a view out to the northerly down into the LA valley. Snacked, and got riding, for the fast bomb down. Just over an hour of riding time to the top and less than 20 minutes down. Fantastic speed down past the Eagle's nest and then more down the road... Got home, into togs and straight back to the beach for a cool dip, sharing the beach space with 2 other people and a Hector's Dolphin! Nice.</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">A <a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7698326755">viewsome </a>17.5 kms and a smidge under 800m climbed.</div> swtchbckrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894499610659880760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658065.post-88085382575935343912023-12-27T20:20:00.001+13:002023-12-29T08:40:10.916+13:00Wednesday Burnin' the Craigies<div dir="auto">Nelson met at mine and we drove to meet Pete and Alistair at the Yaldy for to convoy to Broken River carpark. Grey day in Chch, drizzly on the plains side of the pass then gorgeous day in the valley. <div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Parked up, a few but not so many campers, but lots of bikers in place, we headed off up Sidle73, taking it a little easier on the first climb as I remembered it usually catches me out with the lungstuff... Cruised around this to CV road and up for a whiles. Very warm to boot. Stopped at the bottom of our Ante-Luge entrance and chilled for a bit, some other rider dudes riding through heading for the Edge. We set off, Nelson first, didnt see him again (tho he tells me he could hear me for quite a while), in for a gutbusting climb. I stopped several times to breathe and get the heartrate down but cleaned all but one rock. Thought I was suffering angina or something at times. Bastard of a climb. Re grouped at the intersection, a couple walked through with their bikes, riding further up, and then Nelson cleaned off and the rest of us rode and pushed (a bunch of) the next section before riding out into the open and good to the saddle. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Luge was fun fun fun but initially felt slow for some reason. I got a pinchflat on the front tyre from a misplaced root. Tubed it, pumped it and onwards. Trail got funner - real fun. Ended sooner than memory would serve too.</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Next, climb to Dickson's, all the way up to top of Bridge where we over-the-stiled and blitzed it. Nelson lost the track briefly, Alistair and me got past, bombed for a bit, then regrouped and he took the lead again, then Alistair lost it and I got past and it wsa all on from there. Railing the lower open stuff, super funtimes. Superb riding. Finished along the road back to the cars where we ate some grub. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">12.5 kms with s<a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7686420229">urprisin</a>gly only 505m upped.</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Into the cars and drove around to Cheeseman Rd. Gravel to Texas Flat (where there was bikes and people and cars and camp and stuff) and a little bit further, parking below the bottom of Cockayne Alley. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Climbing climbing climbing, such a long steep crawl. Riding for a time with a youngish dude from QT who peeled off at Cuckoo Creek. Also met the dudes we'd seen on the CV road. They wondered how we'd gotten so far ahead of them, they'd done Edge, Luge, Dracophlat, and were up for Cuckoo too. We continued to climb. And climb. Eventually we broke, admired the view, and dived in for the fun to begin and we blazed it. Across the face, then swoopy swoopy, jumps, down through the tussock, then the whole thing changes and into the steep rooty awesomeness. Hands and forearms cooking, quads getting sore. Stopped a couple of times for a bit of a regroup and allowance of blood back into arms. Again, super superb!</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"><a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7686479101">This time</a> the riding was only 7.63kms and again surprisingly only 465m clambered.

Thompsons, then around the road and up to the carpark, then up through the no access road to the top corner and a little bit off to a knob on top, overlooking Kiwi and Govs. Very nicely. Then, bomb down to gate, off road down rocky single to stile, around to that wee stone shelter for some stoney time and then down through Vic, bombing through skidder at a million miles an hour, down the road and into the DogParkCarPark '235' trail down down down, clambered back up to road and hooned down here to warp speed before peeling right into the driveway.<div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"><a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7682963833">Sugar sugar</a>, 7.5kms distanced, 270m altituded</div></div> swtchbckrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894499610659880760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658065.post-61356631390297439652023-12-22T11:00:00.000+13:002023-12-22T11:19:19.992+13:00Thursday Loco Local - Nun (much improved) to Short Vics<div dir="auto">Hot day, thankfully cooling a bit by the time I got out. Cooked dinner and headed out the door about 7.20pm. Up usual, road from home, 19th, Skidder, stopped to change into singlet on gutser, up top and into Thompson's #1, road, Thomson's #2, across below Kiwi and up the road for a slog to top of Nun. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Dived in and, "whoooah! Huh!?" Stopped, pushed back up and dived in again, this time taking the new left rock armoured section. Into the rest of the old, it's all be tidied very nicely with more-flowing jumps and better armour. Somebody's been busy. Once lower down, just above the CAP exit it reverted pretty much to the old boney I remembered. Bombed all the way down back to Kiwi, onto the road again and climbing up to top of Vic. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Down around the two jumps, hard right into Worm climbing back up to Traverse to dive down into Upper Fenceline, swoopdeswoop, around and across to climb back up the short amount to then hang a right into Razza's, dropping down, plompteplomp, nicely nicely, then dived into and over the Rad^Sick jump, peeling out to climb back up to try out the new extension to Shazza's. Smooth as, not tech, and the berms aren't quite high enough to rail big speed through them... Peeled right again to climb past 40fter and back up the steeps to skidder, over 19th again, dropping down road and into 235 for a nice hoon, riding good, climbing out, up road, dogpark dropping behind houses, fast, home.</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Worthwhile 11.5 kms, with a <a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7679359204">smidge </a>under 400m climbed.</div> swtchbckrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894499610659880760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658065.post-834008788778864572023-12-18T11:23:00.001+13:002023-12-18T11:45:11.698+13:00Saturday Trolling Ada<div dir="auto">Quick spin up and back on an empty stomach. Fueled by coffee (and a banana just before I left), I chugged the Troll up through Vic, walked a bit above skidder, then up onto Thompson's #1 and a bomb down Summit to Kiwi. Across and onwards up the road, catching a guy below Worsley's on a well packed 'packing rig heading out for a hundred kms or so. We chatted as we cruised around and at Kennedy's I peeled left up the quad track to the top of Mt Ada. Been planning this ride for ages so was good to finally grab it. Made me think maybe I'll aim to peak all the tops along here on the Troll... Mt Cass next! Apparently Ada was Cass's wife. Anyway, brief carry up the rocks, two asian women were up top, and left not long after I arrived, leaving it for me on my own.

Nelson's brilliant idea was to ride the walking track. Scorched earth policy had been through, no trees lower down now, we clambered in up the steepest shitface of the trail and zigged our way up. Hot and hot, tho the breeze was coolish once we were higher up. Met various walkers and runners and dogs various spots on the way up. Stopped for a breather in the shade of the look out tower, then hit the singletrack from here. Much better riding, less steep, but techy and balance-requiring, spectacularly clear views all out everywhere every direction. Took it all in from the top and then it was time to head down. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Glorious descending, glorious single-track. Rutty near the top, and man the pigs have rooted the shit out of the open land before we headed into the forest. Techy switchback city in the trees, nice and cool. What a blast. So much fun.

Heaps of tree carnage lower down too, tho the biiig one of a couple times back is fully cleared. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"> Followed by the grunty wee gravel thrash back up to the cars, noticed one area where the trees have been hammered by the big winds of a few weeks back. </div><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">All up 676 m clambered and 11.74 kms. <a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7655018359">Steep!</a></div></div> swtchbckrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894499610659880760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658065.post-52298576766777478362023-11-29T21:09:00.001+13:002023-11-30T11:29:25.252+13:00Wednesday Night Lava Skool<div dir="auto">Picked up Nelson (only a couple of weeks out from having Covid) and his bike from bottom end of Bowenvale Ave, leaving his car there, and we drove up to mine and hit the hill. Up the usuals, Vic Park Rd, 19th, Skidder, and gruntsville (I walked a snip), all the way to the top. Regroup and down around, popping the two jumps nicely then straight into Worm, climbing smoothly to the Traverse. Around here, pulling up multiple times letting (assumedly, the 'Slow Riders) lots of riders through all the way to the saddle, then mostly we got the track to ourselves after that. Stopped at the top of Lavaflow, climbing up to the fenceline. Good chat, rest, hang-out up here in the wind, taking shelter behind a couple of matagouri, and then due to cold, got moving. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Down the Lavaflow. What a blast. Loved it. Tech rock, tricky lines. I dabbed a couple of spots, took smoother less steep lines when Nelson took big drops. Only didn't ride one feature on my route. Below the open section, into the Kanuka, lovely swoopy back and forth. A couple of rocks I dabbed through, but will ride next time, then after the lowest one, tiiight rooty steep to the Hidden Valley 'bonus.' Climbed up through the steep pines onto Old Skool, around to the high point and then dropped in. Excellent blast down here. My weight to my advantage, rolling, coasting, pumping, no pedalling and catching Nelson all the way while he was pedalling to keep the speed. Bony as hell, lots of it, with some blown out bits lower down that could catch us off guard (but didnt). Finally the last few corners, drifting out onto the gravel and out down, coasting rolling to the car. He dropped me home. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"><a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7649804056">Good hoon</a>. 9 kms with 260 m climbed (plus an extra 220 descended) - very similar to the <a href="https://swtchbckr.blogspot.com/2022/03/friday-night-mostly-downwards.html">last time</a> we hit Lavaflow (20 months ago!)</div> swtchbckrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894499610659880760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658065.post-30739312060853882592023-11-26T21:16:00.001+13:002023-11-27T14:16:16.970+13:00Sunday Sumnervale Captain Godley Snake Escape<div dir="auto">Spin out with some new peeps this morning. I was a bit hungover post the TFC Xmas do. At 10am, I met Jon, Ian and Conor, the latter two for the first time, at Sumnervale and we headed up the hill on what proved to be a hot and cool ride. Clambered up the valley switchbacks and onto the sidling climb, walked the rockiest bits, and slowly my hangover was replaced with sucking down a lot of fresh air.</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Out Godley Head Rd, climbing up the farmtrack to the Godley for a sweet hoon down to Livingston and over to Breeze. Tonnes of ebikers and the odd regular biker around. Very busy out there. Up the road a little and dropped into Anaconda where I set a scorching pace, none of them managing to hold on. Regrouped at the bottom, then hit the snake and regrouped again. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Up the Escape, horrid steep bits being horrid, but the rest of it smooth sailing. From top, up road to decide to stay on the road (we'd already been 2.5 hours by this stage - lots of long languorous breaks), nice coast down to Evans, and into the Captain. I followed Ian, because it was his 'local' (he lives in Sumner), but I would have ridden most of it faster than him. Due to timing, he bailed off down the zigs, where I led Conor and Jon down the oldskool exit. A bit too tech for them, methinks. I rode everything, they got off and walked the odd bit. I stopped often for them to catch up. Good wee ride tho, just taking it easy and popping through stuff and enjoying it slower. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Back to the cars and said our goodbyes.</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"><a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7645295065">Around </a>20 kms, (I didn't start MMR until we were a couple kms up (at 150m), and total of 770 m (620m + 150m) climbed.</div> swtchbckrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894499610659880760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658065.post-10333893726063470812023-11-19T17:43:00.000+13:002023-11-22T13:58:39.889+13:00Sunday Tops Again but Mountained<div dir="auto">Good leg stretch hoon along the tops similar and back similar to yesterday but on the single track on the mountainbike. Up the usuals, 19th, skidder, gutser (brief breather half way up), to top of Vic, down around the jumpies and hard right into Worm back up to Traverse. Into the long slog around here, going well, then over Vernon, bomb to Rapaki-top, into Witch, decently negotiated. Along road up to Castle and bomb in behind a couple of other guys (dad and son) I'd crossed paths with a couple of times, after giving them a good gap. I popped out the very end closer to them than I'd been to start with and straight into the climb back up the road. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Up onto the Tors for a good waft down this. Very overgrown. Onto road again and good blat around to Witch, up and over again, then up the road around Vernon, catching and overtaking another rider. Into Traverse, nice bomb, then through the jumpies, rabbit paddock, rocks, gums, road, 235 out and up and down behind houses home. </div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto">Si<a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7635135556">milar but diffe</a>rent, 20kms, 740 m climbed</div> swtchbckrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894499610659880760noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658065.post-12695053856998573302023-11-19T17:41:00.001+13:002023-11-20T09:44:41.136+13:00Saturday Ease Along the Top and Back<div dir="auto">With T, on our Ebikes we shot up on top and out past the Bridle Path and back. Her first ride for a long time, good to get her stretching out. We stopped just beyond the Bridle Path and I sat down on the grass and lay back. On our way back after Castle Rock it felt like something was biting me on my elbow and on my back... ended up with allergic looking bites, spider? ant?? no idea. Beautiful day but windy in places. Used 60 % of my battery. as did she.</div><div dir="auto"><br /></div><div dir="auto"><a href="https://www.mapmyride.com/workout/7633359679">Easy hoon</a>, 21 kms, 790m escalated.</div> swtchbckrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07894499610659880760noreply@blogger.com0
