How Many People from here are going? Haven't done this one before?
Im looking forward to it. Anyone know whatto expect?

[josh_oj]

Im planning on going. Will be my first trail ride.

mint if it its anthing like the Big hill station one you should enjoy it. I did big hill one and my riding skills on a a 1 to 10 scale with 10 being best 1 being worse would be 1.

Keep an eye out for the sherwood/makaretu/ashley clinton one, usually in feb/march sometime I think. Is supposed to be one of the better ones as it has plenty of different terrain, a river/gully section starts off on my old mans farm. I haven't done it personally though, prefer the MX scene; you can see my track along the route actually, just look out for the mini FMX ramp!

Did it last year when they had a 100mm of rain the day or two days before, made it a fun ride with plenty of mud to be sprayed around.

Its pretty easy ride really, nothing as such to catch you out and marked out well so you know where your going, they had hard/easy splits, but really the hard aint too hard except for one steep hill I remember, went up it in the morning but wasnt too keen to go down it in the afternoon. It caught a few people out though!

Bushriders have their cross country on the same day, so guessing the fast guys will head there as last year the cross country was cancelled so some of the guru's turned up. They had a 10km loop open at lunch which was good fun to pound out some laps.

If i get my bike sorted out in time, look out for a YZF with 184 on it and come say hi.

[GPS MAN]

If I have my new steed by then I'll be there:niceone:

[D3ALN]

talking to a few guys at speedway over the weeke d they will all be there

[kezzafish]

hmmm tempting... How long a drive do ya's recon from wellington? about 3 hours? (crusty old van and lots of fucking around accounted for)

[Shorty_925]

Yea 3 hours would be about right or slightly less depending which way you went(masterton or levin way), its like 10-15mins if that from Waipuk.

[D3ALN]

did ypuk to Wellington city today in 3 and a half hours in my diesel L300 stopped in at Carterton for a feed

[kezzafish]

ok cheers. Possibly a bit of a mission. Might just do the karapoti thing but i'll see if i can raise interest from the boys

[D3ALN]

Just mission it to Hawkes Bay and enjoy some good terrain and weather.
If you see a guy with thor gear and red and blue helmet on a kx250f its most probley me so say hello. The ranga with 0 riding ability

[kezzafish]

ahhh rangas unite. we could start a little posse

[josh_oj]

hope this rain goes away!

[D3ALN]

Its sweet there been a few showers but will be good for tomorrow will help keep the dust down

[josh_oj]

Thats good to hear, if it was to rain heavily there would it make the ride a lot harder and less enjoyable? This will be my first trail , thats why im asking.

[D3ALN]

would be slipperier obviously. but will be easier in visibility aspect

[D3ALN]

TOO WET, staying home

[josh_oj]

Same here, man that sux:(

[crazyhorse]

There's been over 40ml of rain overnight - don't think it would be on at all!

Good day to sit infront of the tv ......

[D3ALN]

Pretty guttered. O well next ride is the Porongohau Contry club ride http://www.silver-bullet.co.nz/event.php?id=7450 on the 5th of Feb
