Thats a piece of cake, as are the fords. Iit's the big slips that that were bit worrying. I've just talked to ThePom and it seems it had a dozer/grader over it so will not have any issues. I'll get some pics.

That looks so cool, I wanted to try mountain biking (on a pedal powered bike that is), but that looks way more fun!!!!

Great great pics. Wow looks like fun till the bike went swimming. Scary stuff. They did well :yes: Can't help noticing JMJ the guys you have ridden with & ride with always have so many great action photos. Do you all carry a camera? Or just the fastest & the best ? LOL. Would so love to have some action photos rather than the. . . been there on my bike photo :crybaby:

There's action video of you on the MMMMM ride on Youtube, from behind though. I got a bit of footage of you at the beginning of the Lake Waikaremoana section.

Awesome pics bro - pass the thanks on to the guys that took them. Amazing how a grader can quickly get things open again.

Came through today. Back to its "boring" old self. That slip (last pic second post and first pic third post) was a goody. Don't think the 4x4 would have got through without some serious shovel work first. Some pretty good damage in the area but nobody should be put off going through.

Thanks for invite, will do. As an ex Palmerstodium who started her trail riding dayz down there, think Nth Range Rd was the closest I got to your neck of the woods! Did realise you weren't on that Rainbow ride but have seen so many great photos posted from you & your mates over the years. . . . . so whats your secret ??

You had said on the ride you had taken some footage so when XRJohnny said video was posted I was on KB straight away. Many thanks Eddie. The only prob it looked like I was on a Sunday drive LOL. Johnny looked great barreling past on The Big Red Pig :woohoo:
New resolution for 2011. . . . . . Must go faster !!! :yes::yes::yes:
