Tarawera 100

I didn't ride this year but all respect to those who did.

The start of this event is the biggest rush you can have on a bike.

I know how it feels to complete this event, my first time I managed 4 laps and it took me 4h:26m, my hands were torn to bits and I was so dehydrated I was cramping for days after.

This is an event all off road riders must have a go at some stage during their riding career.

Guess I'll hear for myself shortly.

Cheers for the link Camchain.

I was up there helping on Thursday and Friday and the Kings were certainly not up there. Also the track was only fully marked on Thursday.
