Got a txt from Mitchell, him & damon are doing it now. I'm going to do the Pouto trailride, no one would ride with me anyways :).

[Danger]

I'm keeping an eye on the weather but doubt I will be able to finish 4 hours at the moment. I would be happy with 3 hours though. And I got no good tires.

I could do a report on all the Wild Ridge Runs I did in the 80's? :sweatdrop
And I could lie about the results because there was no interweb available then so you wouldn't be able to check the results! I was a legend I tell ya!:bs:

[billaroo]

Rumour is Mitchell & Damon did not bad, would love to see the results though

[chop]

I was trying to find the words to describe it but they elude me.... HARD is a good one Grovel is another.... hmmm... Shot gun start on a wet sloppy mx track out of the slopp and on to the gravel road then back into the bush.. Oh dear what have i commited to???? The first hill was long and greasy with big bike and water ruts i found my way to the bottom in the most ungraceful of fashions but i got there. It was a toss up really were the uphills worse than the downs??!!!! Long relentless hills and deep unforgiving mud. Wet,cold,sweating,swearing, kicking,yelling and general tantrum throwing were to be seen all around the coarse and that was just me! the following statment will make some cringe and others think im lieing.... Riverhead is the Dome"s baby sister!!!! This place knows how to make you suffer and question your sanity!!! The track was brilliant and would have been fast if it was summer and dry but it wasnt... Neilds took out twoman expert's followed by Brown/Fuller, Brad Wyatt took out ironman followed by myself( god knows how).. All and all an awesome day and ill go again..It was hard unforgiving and challenging something we need more of.. Damon commented to me it was the hardest thing he's done this year.. Hats off to Rmcc they did the Dome proud!... Any questions? :niceone:

[takitimu]

Damn impressive ride, 4 hours in that & you got 2nd !!!, the mind boggles @ this though
Riverhead is the Dome"s baby sister!!!!

[4stroke]

Did the teams have to use one bike, or could you use two bikes?

[chop]

One or two

[billaroo]

Just got off the phone to a guy who reckoned he towed some poor sap out on a husky with a fried clutch- care to elaborate chop?

[Danger]

I told him to retard his timing!:doh:

This'll be a good story :)

[chop]

Rumour mill...... Not a fried clutch.. An "issue" with the clutch though... Under debat the cause... No not timing danger..
