On the bright side, it looks like you have lots of elbow room! This, too, shall pass! Eventually. Beautiful area you live in!  |

Beautiful photos Leathel...thx for posting. Sure is nice to see others sharing pics of their riding experiences and territories on here I'm with my friend Dusty...time to seriously start looking for a bike with some off-the-pavement capabilities again before I'm too old to enjoy that type of riding. With so many opportunities around here to get up into the mountains, makes a lot more sense than adding another road bike. |

With the Mitas E07 tires the KTM works really well on tarmac road too, especially on the tight roads, its a fun bike. It was raining in those pics (started at the start of the road) so I stopped taking pics as I went but even on the wet those tires held well |

Looks like life is getting closer to normal for you guys ? (Sharp cars ) yup been back to normal for a good while now, apart from international travel, 14 day isolation to get in (NZ residents only ATM) but that isolation had huge holes with hundreds (over 1K) let through without testing.....government is full of words but lacked the follow through...some have now been tested and found positive......so we will see how it goes over the next few weeks....we had no cases for over 20 days with ramped up testing until the quarantine snuggle up now a few cases a day (still all from fresh flights) |

Positively wonderful. A nice breath of fresh air. I hosted a VRCC guy from New Zealand a number of years ago. Haven't seen him on the board in a few years. I don't recall which Island he called home. Haven't heard from him in a long while. Great pix. |

Yup winter, been quite dry at times so little in the way of soft ground, mostly stays green right through, especially up north where the ride started. last pics was after rain showers, got home before the wild weather though  |
