The first and last MM ride we went on was 600+ riders all trying to get up a muddy hill all at the same time.
but after the first lap it wasn't that bad, you should handle it no problems.

Maramarua next week as well, now thats a great ride with loops for everyone.

Glen Murray is the easiest ride of them all. If you can't do this ride, you should give up.

Cool. I have a small injury that should be ok to ride on by this sun so may well head down.

Have kids the following so cant make it.

I know.
There are no challenging sections to be included, so its just flowing open terrain.
Obviously, if it rains then all bets are off, but its not really steep there so its not a huge issue if it rains.

been a while since a wet glen murray, will be harder, esp if you do not have a good rear tyre on, will be some back ups for sure if its wet, but nothing to bad, no really big country on this ride to create much problems,
