silver bullets web server has a config error so can't find the exact location of the ride, you any idea of the travel time from wgtn? is it a loop ride or something like 30k in the morning and a different 30k in the afternoon? type of terrain?

just trying to see if it's worth the early start and long drive :)

cheers

It's 2.5 hour drive from Wellington.
Every different type of terrain, simply awesome riding. The people that did it last year asked us to do it again. And this years loops will be much better. and yes, there are afternoon and morning loops (different to each other)

You will need a crow bar to get the grin of your face! :Punk:

funny thing is looking at the maps and wondering what that small loop is, then remembering oh yeah thats when we were looking for the gate out of the paddock.

love to know how they plan these rides, do they just take off on their bikes and randomly ride or do they mark out a rough track on google maps and then ride it.

however they do it they do a sweet job, thanx guys.
