Another fantastic weekend.

I could get used to these if I am not careful. This time it was MTB in the Poulter Valley with Tony and Rowan. Cheers guys. A top ride, and one to repeat for sure.
A disapointing defeat of the Kiwis to Oz dampened the spirits of the locals in Arthurs Pass, sending the country into mourning. The following day cobwebs were cleared with an attempt on Mt Aitkin, but gale force winds sent us down into the bush line to appreciate the comedy of Mother Nature, and if you don't believe me grab a handful of Stinkwood.
