Anyone go to the ride today? pics up on my picasaweb album now. Mostly the AA loop, man that hillclimb at the end was a ripper. Here's a couple i liked

looks like it was a good day (think i saw it advertised at massey), alas the van requires an engine transplant so I couldnt make it. Lold at the pic of your van, lucky it wasnt a gravely area!

Good ride, hopefully one year i'll be able to do it when it's dry.

Some of those AA loop pics are classics, pity the camera flattens out the hills so you don't get the sense of how steep that must have been.

Good shots Pete - documents the day really well. Weren't those bogs awesome (once you got to the other side!)
Excellent shots Kezza - love some of those action shots! None of me though, as I was nana-ing along I saw you walking back - was going to stop and say hi but decided the middle of the track probably wasnt the best place to stop, tehe! We saw you being towed out as well, couldnt believe how much mud you had on the front of your van! Impressive!

yeah twas pretty steep, long and soft. So you didn't give it a go then?

cheers, i noticed blond hair coming out from under the helmet of a crf150 rider actually... you kinda slowed like you were gonna stop and then kept going and i thought... i wonder if that was sarah?.?.! Sorry about missing ya, It was raining sideways on me at that stage and my camera was coated in sand

I wondered how you managed to protect your camera from the rain and sand - not a good combination!
I havent got a 150R yet - am still on the lookout for a good one (but within my price range, lol!)

Yeah that was a mean ride. getting across that main bog with the little bridge in the first loop was classic. Keen as for the next ride for sure

Wish I had seen the bridge before I set about 3rd gear launching the river :wacko:

Had bloody wet feet for the rest of the day! :(

On the plus side tho it did save waiting in line!

lol, i could have stayed there for hours watching guys trying and failing to aquaplane over the water.

if you went to the right and did a little jump there was almost no waiting.
