some of the awesomest land to ride on, i made a special trip down for this last year from auckland.

Is that where I did that ride with you? If so it was well worth the trip. More food that you could eat and wicked terrain. Just don't get lost like we did......

[B0000M]

same area , different course

[B0000M]

Bumpy Bump, only 2 Weeks Away!

[B0000M]

[B0000M]

[B0000M]

cheese can vouch for this playground as well, and even if you dont like the ride i promise you'll enjoy the lunch & the atmosphere

[4stroke]

i love the slopy trails, but from the vids i saw it looks pretty mint, just gota sort out whos comming, long way to go by 1's self.

[B0000M]

in the past there has been sloppy bits and not so sloppy bits, it can get quite slippery in parts. hopefully they dont have too much gravel time on this one, the amount of gravel track last time was a bit too much but theres aparently a lot less this time.

the only thing excessive rain will do is make the river crossings higher, but the only bikes ive seen have trouble in the river are RM250s and RM125s :Pokey:

to get to the track your looking at about a 550km drive from auckland

[cheese]

Yes those river were hell on my old RM.

[4stroke]

well whos gona come down, its along way to go on my own? 6 hour drive each way, hmm whos comming to shear the costs?

[B0000M]

there must be someone keen. its a awesome ride

[B0000M]

cheap bump...

well so far we have
4stroke :Pokey:
cheese (depending on 4 stroke)

[cr125nz]

[4stroke]
