Muddy Winter Lulz and Uber-Camp Slippers

We wish our Smokescreens were this dirty.

The weather forecast made some mention of the rain clearing for the afternoon. So Tiger, Ed, Kah, Cam Wood and me went for a ride at Makara. We did a nice loop, but despite the lulz and exertions, got bloody cold waiting for Ed 'Speed Walker' Crossling to catch us up all the time. That boy needs to lose some pounds and lift his game.


Cam on Missing Link


My latest crud catcher is the Mark-1 Keri Juice BLR Team Issue Pro Special. Works a treat.

It rained from start to finish and the trails were somewhat damp. If there wasn't a river running down the trail, there was porridge all over it. By the time we got back to the car park, the idea of carrying on over Salvation, blah blah, Car Parts, blah Deliverence, blah, disappeared faster than our brake pads. So we went home.


Kah SPEEDS up Aratihi

I went back to Tigerbronnar Mansions and we knocked back some burgers, muffins, tea, lager and some hot steamy shower action. Tigs was good enough to stoke the fire while I was in the shower. Then after our shower, he got the fire going as well. What a trooper.


Nothing quite as cosy and cool as big rubber shoe covers on the mtb.

I even got to wear the incredibly camp 'guest slippers' that Nana Keith made. They look shit, but were very comfortable.
