pouto trail ride for the t.k. fire boys, aparently theres some new loops that are quick so it should be interesting, nice sandy top soil tracks.

I've ridden all over pouto, amazing place. Especially going up that epic lighthouse! Planning to camp up there for a week with the bikes:P

I did this ride couple of years ago & was a good one, medium-fast stuff with lots of undulations in trail, mostly in forest. Had one of those perfect grooves riding 10/10ths all day.

Did 2 Christmas's up there when I was at high school staying at Glinks Gully bach with a bunch of mates. Had an absolute ball riding the dunes all day every day. I don't think you need the practice though vazza. Stay home and watch TV instead.

Learnt to ride on a farm in pouto during school holidays way back in the day. The beach/dunes/lighthouse make for cool riding.

Nice! Theres a massive hotel gone up rich on pouto point now ay. Quite flash.

I havnt been for a few years, but I have plenty of videos of us going up those huge hillclimbs. The one time I made it up on my RM250, I came down and hit a sand bank and went flying haha, all on video too! I'll post it up sometime.

Yeh true cam, that'll be far more exciting!!
