Do they map out new tracks on every family day, or will it be the same tracks as on September 13? I don't want to get too far out of my depth.

Red and yellow tracks all new- green opposite direction with some changes- you'll be fine on the green and yellow with those bikes.

Thanks for that, I'll be taking the R80 again. I did the beginners and intermediate last time and really enjoyed it, but it was hard work.

I saw you out there...I was impressed to see one of the big bikes getting around there. Did you drop it at all?

Thankfully not. I got briefly stuck once, but was able to get going again on my own.

I did drop it a couple of times on the 42nd traverse and Fisher track last weekend.

I am keen to go again, but will take it easy and make sure that people can get past.

Understatement of the year.........c'mon, tell the truth!

Just don't go for the stream crossings this time ok?

I had two tip overs, but went over the handle bars once. The stream crossing was a nuisance, because the bike stalled and needed to be pushed out. BMW used to build airplanes, not submarines.

I've been through the traverse 3 times on this bike and have done both directions. The trouble is I get braver each time and just went to fast for my riding ability.

Thanks for your help Crisis, you obviously have an affinity to BMW :-).

Crisis management

1st October 2009, 07:58

I still reckon you're understating it...that little "over the handlebars" job sounded a bit bigger than that from the terrified eyewitnesses! :crazy:
We were all impressed by that and your ability to pick it up and keep on riding, if that had been me I would have been lying down whimpering for a couple of days.

Enjoy the WMCC ride, I wish I could get there myself!

I witnessed some pretty decent crashes in that rock face- people seemed to enjoy it though even after we took it out.
Sand just got slipperier as the day went on- not your average Woodhill day....

That was an awesome ride!
Managed 1 medium lap and 3 big laps.
Nearly 4 hours of riding in that rain and mud!
Hit a tree... It didn't move.
Failed on the bigger hillclimb. Bike landed on me.
A bit after that I ballanced the wrong way and fell down a bank over a log.

Did anyone have a go at the bigger climb on the other side of the valley from the Men/ boys hillclimbs? I got about 3/4 up it and failed. Twas big.

Still sore. When's the next one?
