Im in a trail ride on Sat so if ur keen sunday?

The track is about 12kms long of ruts river crossings and bogs even Chris Birch rates it an 8/10. That was where we did some testing on the awd bikes ever since then I cant wait to get back and have another crack at it. :ar15:

But cant find anyone else to go along.

Its all about getting yourself and your machine out, if you brake down ur :(

Its over by Paeroa.

It will be an early start to allow for getting lost stuck and what ever else comes along, it's about just getting round it. :headbang:

Believe me it is not a race, its just about getting round, 3 is a good number though. There are ruts and drop offs in there going up and down hill the depth of an average bike. :ar15:

But I’m more than happy to help if you get stuck, the bogs aren’t that bad because you can go round them without too much hassle.

But be warned once you get to the point of no return you have to get round cause it’s too steep to get back up, and if your bike brakes down ur screwed.

Time is the biggest problem when I was there last I was with 3 ISDE riders and it still took 4 hours (but we did do the big loop) to go round mainly because it had poured it down with rain the night before and they had to wait for me :sweatdrop

Guys don't forget the honesty box at the start of the track! It costs money to keep this place going. On that note is anyone keen for some good carma track work soon? The top part of the Waipaheke needs pruning back and I'm not keen to try doing it all myself.
