This was taken using my digital camera and I've got 2 1/2 hours of helmet cam footage to work through yet.

Great photos Merv. Didn't make it this year - maybe next time. One of the blokes in one of your photos looks suspiciously like Rick Barker - Labour MP from over Hastings way and Deputy Speaker of the House. And Ray Lind (husband of Annette King)? Good blokes both of them.

Mr. Barker does a good impression of a chicane...

Big thanks to John and co ... it was just right .. testing enough on a big bike to make your heart race on occasion ... scenic enough to cause a sharp intake of breath ... tough enough to ask my wife for essential oil warmth... tempting enough to haul me into every challenge section (even the ones that kicked my arse last time .... go figure ).... see you all in 2012

Yes they were the two people we were showing around. I hadn't met Rick personnally before but Ray I have known for over 20 years. They were both new to adventure riding and enjoyed the day. Wonder why the National Party people don't seem to be bikers?

I finally got around the putting some video together of the 2010 event. Not my best work but it shows the varied terrain and scenery covered on the event.

As at the time of posting this Youtube was still processing the video so the quality isn't great.

Too busy trying to sort out the mess the last bunch of self serving, public trough swilling non entities left behind.

That loose downhill bit with danger tape looked more difficult on the big bikes than I remember

Yes, I have you on tape as I cruised past with Jim slipping and sliding behind me.
Hmm, I have a spare moment right now so I should get some more work done on my own video project.
