I was referring to the empty attachment box... Or does it show up on other devices?

Since Celia and I got married ten years ago we both had the day off and went for a ride. This is a good wee circuit plus you can stop at the Orakanui Ecosanctuary for a coffee before a nice little roll back to town if you feel like it. :)

In other news, first road ride in many mnay months. I forgot how much harder it is to push roadie gears, :cry:

yesterday knocked off work at 3 and went and rode Mt Grey. Up the steep walking track on the front all the way to top, and down the switchback-city, then back up to car at Janet... MIIIIINNNTTT conditions (except for a bit of mud that's just starting to dry out).

Not today, but a couple of days ago, the Rambla shared path along the waterfront in Montevideo, Uruguay. Rode from my hotel at Punta Carretas up to Parque Roosevelt, then back again and about 7 km the other way to the port at Cuidad Vieja, then back to the hotel again. About 55 kms in total. Really nice ride, 10/10 would recommend if you happen to find yourself in Uruguay

Some decent erosion from the rain storms we've been having at nights recently:

This track up was graded by pylon crews a year or so back. Heavy rain and it's scoured back down to the rock base.

I enjoy riding on this type of terrain. It looks and feels so cool.

T'was very cool getting up above the Christchurch sea mist on Saturday morning.

Okay so at only 16% off-road this ride should probably be classed a roadie ride, but hey whatcha gonna do when most of the track are closed
