Power adventures have a ride on next sat here, just wondering if anyone has been before, and could let me know what it's like?

Yeah I rode their earlier this year, it had a bit of rain a few days before and it was real slipperry, Greg power was going up and down the hills riding guys bikes up, real funny.

But if it is dry it will be real mint, but I might just head to thunderx this weekend.

The tracks were pretty open and would have been very fast in the dry, but he has just cut a whole bunch of new tracks so who knows what they are like.

We rode there on the earlier power adventures ride day after the sprint enduro. It was abit wet and some of the big hills were pretty slippery. Like dammad1 said should be good in the dry though could get dusty.

Did you do the paeroa ride at the weekend dammad1? it got pretty slippery when the rain appeared!!!!:buggerd:

Yeah sure did, it was mighty slippery and then we had to get towed out of the carpark just to top it off!

Some extremely gnarly rutted long uphills, which would be fine in the dry, but were hellish in the wet a few weeks back.

It's pretty good fun though, I'd be keen to have another crack when slightly drier.
