WMCC Two-Man Series, Round 2, Saturday 4 December

[billaroo]

Final round- prizegiving afterwards. Junior in morning and Senior afternoon.

[takitimu]

Looking forward to it, a few doing the 3day, but that is getting a bit to serious I reckon, kinda keen to finish a ironman after last race and dnf, but suspect I'll end up 2 man, see how many turn up for the drive down.
( all assumes the noise in my motor was the cam bearing and not something more serious ).

[vazza]

Cant wait for this! Will be a blast :D!

I was going to do the 3day until I found out it was $300.. Flag that. Worked it out, wouldn't get much change out of $1000 to do that event. Not really worth it considering only 50 people have entered...

takitimu enter ironman against me :D! Fun times!

lol, you'd never stop me grinning if I was good enough to give you a battle, it'd mean a few mates I have would be in for some serious kickass.

I agree on the price, 300 + 3 new tires + travel accom etc, be lucky to do it for 1k from here and thats without 3 days off work, thursday/Friday/Monday and even then be a slow week recovering, I'd rather have fun in riverhead and try in be good shape for the enduros starting at operau, besides no enduro in riverhead next year & would suck not to do a race in there :).

Heard from a friend who's close to Greg.

Haha! Will seu then!

Yeah exactly. Isn't a cheap event.. Also considering there isn't really any new tracks. I've checked quite a bit of it out.

You sure about Riverhead? It's up on SilverBullet??

My bad, riverhead but not woodhill, knew one was no longer happening.

The numbers for the 3 day sound right, mate was supervet, but they dropped the class due to not enough entries.

[vazza]

I think they're also doing a Northland round instead of Akitmo(forget the name) which will be good for you!

Yep at thefarm, might have to help lay it out lol.

Mike is doing some rides just after new year as well, including an extreme enduro, so keep an eye out.

[vazza]

Wicked!

Yep, Root 100? I'll be there!

[takitimu]

Wicked!

Yep, Root 100? I'll be there!

That name rings a bell ;), though I'll tempt fate and say the roots were not to bad the other week, almost be like home for ya. Some really nice single trail stuff in there eh.

[vazza]

Haha yeah I'll be into it!

Hey Bill any idea how long the track is?

[Factoryjohn]

Haha yeah I'll be into it!

Hey Bill any idea how long the track is?

About 20km I reckon.

[billaroo]

16 vazza boi

[noobi]

Will the trail ride be the same track as the 2man?
I prefer earning money so cant do the 2man :blink:

[vazza]

Was pretty much one of the best XC's I've done. Plenty of tight fast single trail, a lot of technical sections. Was so much fun, hardest XC I've done as well! Counted about 5 blisters!

Cant wait till the next Riverhead event.

Thanks WMCC!

(enjoying those beers :P)

PS: If anyone is after photos I have a lot, they will be uploaded to my facebook. Link is coming soon! They look awesome!

well done with the result today, was certainly a great track enjoyed it heaps. WMCC can't seem to do much wrong, always good fun

[takitimu]

Brilliant track and well marked/organized.

My first lap was a shocker, so decided to kick riding a loaner 2/ idea to touch and use partners yzf, the next two were serious fun, A really nice variety of track, with One downhill I found real tricky, mainly because you had to go so slow and it felt wrong. We bailed before the beers unfortunately, one of these days I'll catch up with vazza for an ale.

[vazza]

Which downhill was that taki?

Anyone struggle in that really soft loamy section.. Maybe 10 minutes into the lap? I couldn't seem to ride fast through there.. Was strange. It sort of felt hard but it wasnt.

Will have to have drink or 2 at Root 100! :D

Cheers Rupe!

[takitimu]

Vazza, You came off a road section into a downhill, was tight single track, not steep, but real tight and roots in inconvenient places, I'd speed up and it felt like the very next corner would sharpen on exit lol, be an spot awesome for practicing.

The loamy part, do you mean before the first real road section ?.

Anyone else get a real kick off the log across the track on the clear fell, I was a bit casual hitting it in the first lap around on the yzf and wondered if I was going to endo for a second, good thing I'm overweight and when the seat smacked my ass it slowed it down, just ended up riding on the front wheel for a second, would have been a bugger falling off there, real embarrassing, up there with falling off in the carpark.

Oh haha! I recall that, was very fun. Difficult to go fast in yeah. I just kept it in 2nd and tried to be as smooth as I could. A few tight spots where you had to lean the bike or else you'd get snagged on a branch. Was pretty funky through there!

The loamy part lasted for ages, I think it was after the first main road section yeah. It was REALLY soft in sections.

The only time I fell off was just after that log, front end washed out on a long sleak log/branch. Was funny haha.

[barty5]

Was a good ride only bits that got me was the real soft section by the third lap seamed to go on forever and the short steep bit just after the short road section was really rutted at the bottom.

Pretty sure the guy who was 10th finished in front too, mmm strange.

Pretty shit not being able to see the laptimes either, reckon there's been a bit of guess work in there somewhere. Oh well

oh ok, they prob averaged their laptimes, and I think adam was a bit quicker. Doesn't really make a difference to anyone though.....as long as I finished above barty!

they passed you when you refuelled....

lap times were all over the show due to the hardware issue- we know who came where by the manual system...

[vazza]

Ahh that'd be it! Sweet :P!

Thats cause you only did 3 laps to my 5 and at the half way ish point on the third you where only bout 400 mtrs in front at one point till i got to the clear fell part bloody logs.

[Rupe]

Thats cause you only did 3 laps to my 5
