Kirwans Track

So on the 11th we got asked if we wanted to go Heli Biking at Kirwans Track just up by Reefton on the 12th. It’s not generally something we had to think about, so an instant yes was given.
Having previously done the Croesus Track by Helicopter and buckling my wheel half way down while trying to overtake a mate while making race car noises (Some people would call that Karma) and having to pretty much walk the rest of the way out, I was pretty keen to make the most of this trip.
The track was pretty awesome, with only minor unridable bits due to logs across the track or wash outs, and only very minor uphill. I managed to destroy my largest chain ring in a minor off I had and replace two rear tubes, but aside from that it was awesome. Would definitely plan to do this again during Summer.
