Phone got puckaroo'ed in the rain on Saturday. So pxt'ing stopped

Riding in the rain was funnnnn. Although was easy decision not to go to Punga and wait for wwater taxi back.

Lovely weather on Sunday. All the dowhills still rock. The up's not so much in the heat. Legs are toast.

Whites Bay on Thurday - Similar to Spoonhill and Rata Ridge - just more. That is a good thing.

Helidrop on Dunn Mountain awesome.

I started the push up 629. Turned back but hard bastards came out with smiles for miles.

Beers

Foodz

Fun

Thanks Tama.

10 years of QCW and on-one missed has ever missed making it to the water taxi.

Awesome weekend of riding.

The fuel pump in my car decided to die on the way home last night so I got to spend a lovely wet evening in Blenheim. Got it fixed this morning but it cost a few bucks

By the time I eventually got home the stench of wet/mud encrusted riding gear was nostril searing. Unless of course one of you guys left a dead gerbil under a seat?

Thanks everyone for a cool weekend.
I dont reccommend day 2 with a hangover.

A tough weekend for the bike:
Broken deraileur hanger.
Broken chain.
Bent wheel.
Bent rear deraileur.
Broken seat post.
Rear hub in it's death throes.
Not to menition my Aunts Dachshund eating the bite valve off my camelbak.

Due to me being a mong I managed to take a lot of video clips of my feet instead of the photos I was trying to take.
