    Na, don't worry about the weekend at all, get out there during the week! There were 3 guys out there and me and Buffstar! Trails have just been groomed. The 3 guys had sick days! Good fun, still wet!

    Agree 3 day weekends would be great. Perhaps I need to book a sicky every monday for the next 6 months!!

    You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
    And now a third thing a bloody big gun to shoot theives with!

    Hey just a quick note to the organisers of the Waitemata Club Trail Ride:

    Thanks a lot guys - it was a fantastic day with great trails as usual. The 25km main was an excellent loop. Even got to play on a few "off piste" hillclimbs!

    Nice work guys!

    Ahh the way to a mans heart...hill climbs.
    I actually thought of the Billy goats as I was flailing my way up a couple.

    Bloody good track ah?

    T'was a good course alright. Those hill climbs were good fun. Tried a few alternative lines up, next to main routes with mixed results. Had a couple of close calls with stumpage, plenty of those to keep you awake. Red paint always a very big help. Thanks wmmcc top effort.

    Speaking of hill climbs, those 3 in that area after the dipper are a bit tricky.

    Phew!
    I think I need a nap and a cup of tea.
    Good ride, found it quite challenging at parts (good thing bikes don't have feelings because mine got a real bollocking today!) got stuck on the bit with the ramp and the reeeally long loamy uphill bit was a struggle, dug some nice deep holes. Got through eventually with some assistance - if that was anyone on here, thank you! Got lost for a while with meatbomb bypassing the third set of hillclimbs - guess not many people took that way cause it was really fresh looking! my best hillclimb effort was about 3/5ths of the way up - pride's not too hurt though since I'm not a boy or a man! Tried a few times. Was pretty fun watching other people too. Some people make it look sooo easy.
    Getting a bit faster now and more confident. Passing guys on big bikes is good for the self esteem - even if they do catch me when I fall over
    Good job WMCC *limp, hobble*

    impressive!!!
    firstly at the "carpark" , we must have been about a k away from sign in. did the big loop to start, took awhile to warm up but after that started to get a rhythm going and only stuffed up twice, must be a record for me on forest tracks. one of the first man or boy climbs, hit neutral right before the bottom so went into second with no revs then found the hole that my mate had left there. turned the bike round with the grab strap, went to the bottom, no more nonsense gave it some stick in second, straight up didn't really slow down until hitting the foot ledge where a root got dug out, bahshitfuckbugger, over the handle bars onto the ground.
    then the rest of the loop was problem free until, it must have been the ladder climb? but the really long hill with deep loamy sand, helped a few people on that one. stopped at the top then ktmboy covered us all in shit when he came round the corner
    got back and thought, what an awesome loop!!
    did the 5k one, then half way round the second time, there was a ktm85 stopped in the middle of the track, so i thought, lets just ride over this rather large log that's on a angle in fourth gear, ahhhhh NO, didn't get the front over properly, launched the rear end, front dug in about 2 metres away from the log, i went over the handle bars again, managed to catch the bar in the ribs, then the bike landed on top of me. mustv looked funny to the two stopped trying to start the ktm.
    but had some htfu pills and went off to do the 4k track. thought the 4k was really good too, a bit tight in places, then the hill climbs at the end were cool.

    so all 5 of us thoroughly enjoyed that ride, well done to the WMCC, will definately be going to the next one
    we may just go where no ones been

    Well you did great Spiked Punch! I found the downhill a big challenge. Needed to walk the bike down that one! The loamy hill, yeah, thanks for the help on that one whoever you were! Not good enough to avoid the other people that were having trouble! Definitely the day was a challenge! Thank god for the 'boy' options! Don't worry Spiked Punch, I got lost bypassing the third set of hillclimbs as well. Went into a paddock full of cow stuff! We must have taken a long time out there, people came looking for us!

    Great ride. I seem to be sorer than usual though. Not sure if thats a good thing or not

    Did all the hill climbs. A couple took more than one attempt though

    n00bie I encountered that root also. Thankfully stopped in time though.

    The little ramp near the end was pretty neat, and the last 1/4 of the 25km loop was pretty tight and techy.

    Only down side was my bars coming loose near the end. Made me grip with my knees though.
