Chris Birch won with Cam Smith 2nd & Jason Davies third. Mitchell Nield has a broken wrist & will be out for an easy 6 weeks ( making 2 broken wrists out of 8 odd northland riders as Mike J broke his to ).

It was a pretty short Novice section 42km & since it was so short I tried pushing my special stage times & fell off or stalled in every one ( 3 times in the last one, cost at least 70 seconds as a guy I'd caught up with beat me by that ).

Anyways, onto the photo's :)

I'm pissed that I missed this event. Apparently the ride time was just over 5 hours on the bike.

Great pics and some good footage on Waitemata's web. Thanks Bill.

Great footage Billeroo. Man those guys are spoilt down there, great riding, great hunting and plenty of the gold. Tempted to pack up the rest of the Clampits and head on down.

Sweet video Bill, I actually fell off where that second video was, looked at the camera & got washed out in the rut to the left :).

The first video, there was some talk of jumping straight into the creek from the log, but Chris Birch reckoned 75% potential for failure so they bailed on that idea.

There's some more pic's at http://flickr.com/photos/takitimu/tags/2008whangamataenduro/

It was a long ride for the intermediates/experts, a bit tough on the TTR intermediates, pretty short for novice I did 42km, awesome riding though with a heap of new bulldozed track, I reckon you missed a real classic, major kudos to Lester & his helpers.

I'm scared that if I take up riding, I'll stop photographing :(

You guys make it hard not to, with all these trail rides you talk about.
