I sent you a message on conversations.I had a sneaky day off work yesterday, loaded the bike in the van and went to pines. I did the red route twice then wondered off to have a look round, I ended up on Eakring road, lets just say the part I entered under a few bridges with burnt out stuff and fly tipping didn't feel to safe lol.
Is the off piste rides over this way or still within the park?

Maybe the only dry section of the trails in the Porthills here in Christchurch New Zealand? Beautiful day today and even nicer tomorrow so I'll head out again.

Nice lets see the pictures with the beach.
I haven't ridden this trail in over ten years, despite it's location in the middle of my favorite areas. It was so much fun that I'll not be waiting so long until my next visit.
Looks harsh. I hope they're paying you overscale.
In the maratime provinces its only underscale but benefits in the form of many smoke breaks, except i dont smoke

Perfect weather today. Hit the older school trails that I love. Lots of big rock gardens, wet and slippy with lots of fun.
Had a spin round Aboyne, Masterblaster I think . Not used to routefinding at places I have never been before . Loads there I would need a guide. Managed Heartbreak Ridge as well only took one wrong turning. That's a cracker . I would love to go up the down if you know what I mean.

Finally got my arse into gear, loaded the bike onto the Buzzrack for its maiden journey..... Destination Lady Cannings 
Would only have time for a few runs but ended up doing 2 of each as time was scarce today.
Blue Steel:
Cooking on gas:
Glad i got out and enjoyed the trails albeit expecting them to be longer but fun all the same.
Good to test the Buzz out too which went well except not being used to having a bike on the back so it was a bit distracting at times.
Mmmmm!!! looking at youtube videos.... i might have my trails mixed up due to a lad saying " this is CookingOnGas and that one is BlueSteel " was i told a load of BS

Do you have to stop at the summit and sing the song ( Rose of Allendale ) if you ride there .Tracking on 16 Jul 2022 10:05:23

What a day yesterday got to gym 6am, back out on bike for a quick spin (9miles) around heath common then back home. Fed myself relaxed for a few hours and went and done another 25.72 Miles (Personal Record). It’s was great to push in this weather on my old regular bike I would have done , in fact nothing I would not of gone out in this weather.

Your first pic..I'd be careful trying to ride that off piste ledge next to the canal ..I know its always better riding off-road in the vegetation but in this instance the path looks a better bet as a pedal strike would have disastrous consequences ..What a day yesterday got to gym 6am, back out on bike for a quick spin (9miles) around heath common then back home.

can you spot it?
helmet of a local enduro legend screwed high up to a tree in the middle of nowhere.. if you didn't know it was there you would miss it.
a great memorial and tribute.
