Mt Biking (Queenstown Bike Park) 3:00:00 [3]
shoes: Demo

Today we hired Specialized Demos and got 1/2 day gondola passes and went to the hardcore downhill tracks.
Very good fun, and plenty of tracks even I could ride. Nice to be able to enjoy the ride down and then be able to catch the gondola back up.

Mt Biking (Coronet & Skippers) 2:30:00 [3]
shoes: Stumpy EVO

Back on the Stumpy Evo's again today. We parked at the end of Zoot track and slogged it up to Skippers Saddle and rode Pack Track down the side of Skippers Canyon and then slogged it back on Skippers Canyon road. Then we rode down Zoot track and got picked up by the bike taxi and did 3 more runs of Zoot Track and then 1 run on Rude Rock track. Lots of cool bermed corners and fairly steep downhill. Nice not to have to ride up the hills

We got to Franz Josef and headed out on the walk to the glacier. You walk in the river bed which is pretty cool unfortunately they had some storms a few weeks before so it was a bit unstable and you could only get 500m from the terminal face of the glacier.

Mt Biking (Kaiteriteri) 1:40:00 [3]
shoes: Merida 99er

Today we drove up the coast to a mt bike park near the beach. Lots of cool berms and an epic switchbacky climb called Corkscrew which was tough and long to climb up and a lot of fun to ride down. Legs a bit tired after yesterday.

Mt Biking (Coppermine Trail ) 4:37:13 [3] 46.69 km (5:56 / km) +2445m 4:42 / km
shoes: Merida 99er

Rode from our accom in Nelson to do the Coppermine trail which is a ~40km ride up to Coppermine Saddle and then back. The trail starts up the old railway line and is fairly wide and very rideable through nice forest. Eventually it comes out into the sub alpine area and its scrubby and windy. Highest point is Coppermine Saddle at 878m. The descent is on purpose built singletrack and is tough to start with as the trail is just lots of rocks, once it drops below the tree line its much nicer, smoother and flowy. The last quarter is along the Maitai river which has cool views and a few more hills. Pretty cool ride to do.

Other (Walking) 2:00:00 [3]
shoes: Black Asics #2

In Nelson after a late start we headed out on a walk to the top of the Grampians, pretty good walking trails with the lower trails through nice forest and the upper trails a bit more exposed. Cool views over Nelson and the inlet from the top.

Mt Biking (Lancaster fail) 25:00 [3] 5.66 km (4:25 / km)
shoes: Stumpy FCC

Testing my suspension pre-ride and a stick went through my front brake disc and I stacked it into the bike as I rapidly stopped. Then less than a km into the ride Jason pretzeled his trek's front wheel on Lancaster. I rode lancaster and then pines once more then met Jason back at the dell.
11 AM

Running 25:00 [3]
shoes: Black Asics

Got home and fixed my road bike flat tire then when Jason went to the bike shop to take his trek in, Amber and I went for a bridges run. Crossed the first bridge then stopped briefly for Amber to have a swim. As we were about to run on I realised there was an old guy standing behind the next big tree naked except for his shorts around his ankles. As you can imagine Amber and I turned and gtfo of there pretty quickly. After that I wasn't too keen on running the other way round so we just did an out and back to Nicholson rd.
