Anyone heading out for a ride this Sunday? 29.6.08

[cheese]

Got to get some practice in before the T100. So anyone heading out? There is a ride on out the other side of woodhill with Power adventures, but the $40 is a bit steep......

Think that Kimmys or thunder would be too wet??????

Anyway who is keen to come out?

[Danger]

I'm digging around under the couch cushions for some coins and heading out to the Power ride. Hear he has a World reknown track builder in green tights setting the course! :laugh:

[chop]

Yep.. Looks good in tights too!:niceone:

[cheese]

LOL I'll try to find some money and head out. I;ll be taking it easy cause I don't want to chew my new tyre up.

:lol:I've heard all the excuses now. Its sand Cheese! It doesn't chew tires!:rofl:

[noobi]

what are these rides like??
is it worth 40$?
i went to woodhill once and did some loop which was very boring and tedious with lots of whoops and soft sand (but then again a crf150 probaly not helping), are these rides like that?
its just that theres bugger all trail rides on in the winter and i have a new bike im itchin to run in, and there are only really these and the ones in taupo and taupo is a serious hike for me

[dammad1]

Yeah it looks like me and a mate will be heading out to the woodhill ride, but I think $40 is a bit harsh to ride there.. but anyway.

[4stroke]

i possibly may make an apperance, just took me a hour n a half to clean it after kuratau ride.

[daytona 2]

ill be turning up at the woodhill ride...looks like fun

[charles23]

arhhh, too much complaining, ride the Sandspit, it's cheap and vast, surley there is a track there that you haven't been on!!!! trying riding a little further away from the carpark.

[portokiwi]

I will be riding to work lol.

[cheese]

:lol:I've heard all the excuses now. Its sand Cheese! It doesn't chew tires!:rofl:

Tree roots do though!

[Danger]

Only if you are taking it easy and get stuck on them. Hit them fast and roll right over.

To much for me! I'm saving my money for the Watamata MCC rides in the same place or the Mr Motorcycle rides.
The Sandpits fair and reasonable at $25-00 each, and they look after and encourage the family for $55-00 so I'd go there!! Some good trails to find out the back.

[cheese]

I feel the same way Rick, but I've been to the sandpit the last 4 times I've been out. Feel like a change. MAybe got to thunder and spend a day on my ass and sliding down muddy hills! LOL

Jeepers your a brave man! I've been to Thunder X when its really wet its almost unridable on that slppery clay.
You better call first the weathers been so bad this last week it may not even be open. Don't wanna see you waste all that petrol if Thunder is closed. You may have 2 choices due to the weather! Woodhill or stay home.

[mattwood]

i went for a ride around the neighbours farm yesterday, most fun ive had in ages!! semi-aqua planing over the paddocks haha! They gullys get abit exciting but my new tires work like magic! especially after my practicly bald front tyre, it rides in the wet the same as it used to in the dry haha :confused:

anyway will hav to try get up to woodhill during the winter, once the neighbours and dad get pissed with me ripping up the paddocks.. :soon:

[WRT]

Sand sucks, and $40 is a bit on the steep side (admittedly still waaay cheaper than a track day though). I reckon go play in the mud at Kimmies or Thunder!!

How bad can it be? :dodge:

[cheese]

you coming along then Walter?

Obviously you haven't ridden there in the middle of winter then?

alot of people struggle around there even when its only a bit wet, I have spent many days sitting at the top of some of the hills on the A track watching people wipeout trying to get up them, some classic entertainment.

[WRT]

Yeah, I'm keen as for Sunday. I was thinking of deciding tomorrow where to head to, depending on the weather between now and then.

I've seen two bikes disappear in quick succession up to their handlebars in the side of a mud bank at Thunder when they tried to use it as a jump . . . I'd rate that as being more than "a bit wet", and your right about it being classic entertainment. Up to the point where your thigh deep in mud trying to pull the bikes back out. The WR250 (2/) wasn't too bad, but man that DRZ400 was a heavy SOB, even with three of us hauling on it!

[Danger]

You might like the Pussy Pounder coming up in a few weeks if you like mud.

[cheese]

Hmm I'm just looking out the window now and I think that Woodhill might be the go....... gone from a little bit wet to lake Thundercross.......

Yeah I might come do teh pussy pounder this year. Should be a good laugh. Rupecopp, you keen on it when you are back?

[Buddy L]

Yeah i've seen some real funny shit out there in the wet, guys on 450's thinkin they can just drop into these holes and rev the shit out of them to get out and end up digging themselves even deeper, bikes boiling over, chains flying off, clutches getting fried, some real classics.

[theblacksmith]

Im off to the sandpit with a couple of mates.Mite catch some of yous there.

[FlangMasterJ]

Not that you guys really need to know but I'm most likely off up the Karapoti.
