Pretty much how my last ride up there ended, ripped off one of my mucky nutz clone guards and made a total mess of both sets of pads.

 

Now there is a very familiar tale. I recall that on this Wiggle ride on the SD, that many riders were busy just throwing mudguards away.

 

 

 

Not on the above occasion, but I'm another that has had a mudguard ripped off the bike.

 

I still can't decide whether to head down there or not tomorrow. My knee still actually isn't that great, so I might just potter around my local playground for an hour or so, and just save my self for the mtb ride to Eastbourne on New Years Day.

The Lord Croft was not at home for visitors

 

 

The furthest hill is Wapley Hill and Fort, weather permitting that will be my next trip

 

 

360 degree view from the top of Croft Ambrey. The post features in the next three photos, it is an impressive view. Clear as a bell today

Nice stand in last picture

Is that Wellington harbour?

Nelson?

Nelson, I wish.

 

Wellington harbour, taken from Mt KauKau.

 

At this time of year the photo should be of KauKau from boat, while catching snapper. Luckily I now have Cube to ride while waiting for better boating weather.

yay it works and dont need a software update tho im surprised given how locked down the bosch system is.

 

only went up and down the road and all looks like it is working tho the mph is nor right as have a dongle but its not half like on the other display seems it gets to the 16mph limit and then goes in half??

 

and that moto was a fooker to get back on where my power cable from the batts goes.

Would you advise a mechanical nomdeplume to try it?

its not hard tbh as not much you can do to mess it up i spent more time looking for a socket to remove the motor lol

 

took about 30 mins to do it

Have asked lbs to get me one but they haven't got one yet.

Performance cx. Is that what mine is?

yes you want the black one performance or cx it works with both.

Cheers.

Have just mailed lbs asking if they have it yet. I would rather pay someone than Cock it up myself..

Hi another ride today 24 miles some of it along the humber. Cold but lovely day.

What a fantastic night for a ride.

 

15 miles 1,735ft of elevation gain, ridden in sport mode for a change, and one full charge of battery used.

 

 

A lovely frosty evening that allowed for riding over terrain that I wouldn't normally be able to, although it was still reasonably muddy for the most part.

It was just about perfect conditions for the hardtail, and in combination with the new Hutchinson DZO tyres, I wouldn't have wanted any other bike tonight.

 

 

 

The ride wasn't without issue though, and I took a trip over the bars whilst taking a short cut over a route that I have never ridden before. The front wheel went down into a ditch that was the depth of the wheel. I was actually only riding at about 5mph, and it just happened in slow motion and mad me laugh. Night time isn't really the best time to be exploring on your own.

 

 

 

Billy the battery also met his end by playing in the front wheel of the bike. R.I.P Billy, nearly three years of faithful service, and the Best £8.00 that I have ever spent. Billy only had a few days before his retirement as well. I just hope that it was an accident and not suicide.

 

Morning commute via Mt Kaukau , looking west to south island (not very clear in picture). Should've been fishing.

Approximately how much Ah did you have left in your power bank? Do you think that you could have gotten another 24 miles out of it if needed?

Your bike looks nice and clean I must say.

 

EddiePJ, I am not targeting anyone on here okay! I'm just saying.

Mountainsport .Hi yes could have at least doubled that milage still had 60% left but that was nearly all rd and cycle track work.I do try and give the bike a very light hose down after a ride.

That's good in terms of the mileage. I Think I've found my match because I quickly rub down after each ride also, better still I check the weather forecast before heading out. On second thoughts and come to think of it I'm not quite sure that you are as bad as me.

I'm another that cleans the bike after each ride, and another that checks the weather forecast before heading out. I only do the latter though to see if I need to take a jacket along.

Yeah, but hear this one now, I am so clean I ever so often even spray air freshner inside of my rear rack pannier bag. I'm serious guys, does it seem that I am going off a bit? And I don't go fishing.
