Re: Petes Neerim

Our first up tracks were rather littered with fallen trees and branches, more so than I had anticipated! This meant extra expenditure of both energy and time, but to everyone's credit they took it all in their stride and made for an enjoyable day out. I ended up doing a limited number of tracks as w...

Re: To Reefton or Bust.

Well you folks had quite the day out on Sunday didn't you!! A bit more of an adventure than I had attending a family birthday gathering. I'm currently plotting my next ride at Neerim but to come anywhere near that effort I'll have to set the following requirements: 1 : everyone must start on reserve...

Re: 2t4me Neerim adventures

Cruiser summed up the day pretty well. Lots of adventures and laughs with a great group of riders. From my perspective, it was rather different riding back in the pack than leading a ride around Neerim. I got to see, and experience, some of the carnage first hand. also to witness some impressive bik...

Neerim : Sunday April 14th

Seven of us, Cruiser (Mark & Corey, Cruisers' plus 1&2),Bonez, Rubber Toe, Simmo 300 and I, gathered at the carpark looking forward to another day on the trails. Perfect weather, no dust and lots of traction. After the usual meet and greet (and Cruiser finishing breakfast)we set off on a 60k...

Re: New Year at Neerim 5th Jan

Another Neerim ride in the books! Glad that you guys enjoyed the ride. I did, except for a couple of "gumby" moments where I was held captive by the bike and some local "flora"! Thanks Bonez and Andy B for coming to the rescue. Thanks also to Hoff for sweeping the entire ride and...

Re: How good is Neerim?!

Yet another great day out at Neerim. Conditions were near perfect with plenty of traction courtesy of overnight rain. The group flowed well with Andy M giving it a go at every obstacle and improved as we continued. It was a great day out and I think that I managed to ensure that everyone was a bit w...

Re: Pete’s Neerim take two…

Yes, it sure was good to be back on the bike again :D and just to be out there with great group of like minded "disciples of dirt". The group flowed well throughout the day taking in a variety of tracks some of which I hadn't ridden for a while or in the reverse direction on others. To mak...

Re: Big Pete's neerimaniacs

Well, you've already read about the first hour of "Neerimaniacs" so I'll take it from here! Little John, Biker Biker, Jake TR and I started of with a couple of tracks that I usually do as a bit of a warm up although I did leave one out that I knew had a rather large off camber tree across ...

Re: Big Pete's last minute Neerim

Thanks guys for making it on such short notice, things fell into place and produced a ride that I thoroughly enjoyed. I discovered a few more tracks and was able to find that "missing link" that eluded me on the last ride. Thanks to that "old bloke" ....hang on.."I can't tal...
