Salvation

Yay! I got the end cap for my Easton Haven rear wheel from Chain Reaction Cycles. Great service from these guys! So now rolling on matching wheels :) Will take some decent pics after I next clean the bike.

Yesterday I went for a ride from Fitzgerald Ave up Salvation and to the top of Wrights Hill with a friend and his dog. Back down the same way. First time I've ridden this track which is another one off the list of Wellington tracks to ride in 12 months (Feb 2013 to Feb 2014). It's a nice gentle ride up or down  Will be living near the top of Wrights Hill soon so will probably use this track a lot to get to and from Makara Peak park. Then today it was a quick ride up Koru, along the 4WD track, down Big Toms Wheelie and then down Lazy Fern. Technically, Big Toms Wheelie is part of SWIGG that starts across Snake Charmer from the Ridgeline Extension track. I haven't ridden down the Ridgeline Extension track so I wanted to ride this short (200M) piece of track so I can say I've covered the whole of SWIGG. I would have kept going along SWIGG but a group of about 6 riders went down just before me so I thought I'd take Lazy Fern to avoid the potential traffic (though chances are they would have left me in the dust\mud) The Makara Peak supporters guys were working on Koru as I went past and it's looking great. There's lots of track maintenance events coming up so I'll probably attend a session or 2.
