Rest assured if we mark a deviation with 3 arrows it will not be easy...most people will be challenged at least a little.

There's a Tui ad in here somewhere....... I had at least 3 lie downs in there.

i got cross rutted at one point and the bike spat me off forcing me to have a little gorse bush nap, today i look like i have measels all down my left side, lol, was a good day and a good challenge, thanks to all involved.

You guys going for triple arrow instead of saying expert loop ?, if so I like that idea alot, we were running around putting up Expert notices yesterday morning before riders turned up & would have been way easier to triple arrow.

I must say Billaroo (& Takatimu) I found it really good!
1 Arrow trail ride
2 Arrows harder
3 Arrows I wish LOL!!!

The marking system was very good from a riders perspective!!

Except when we got lost 300mtrs from home at the end of the day! I was dying from thirst at that point and just wanted to get back in!

I think we did the 5k Novice loop as well LOL!!! Probably backwards ?? Funny how you can start missing things when your tired aye!!
Mind you BJ reckons that lady out there with the dog was taking down the Arrows as part of packing up? I dunno I think we just missed a turn.
Odd how you can be 500m away from the car and totally lost specially when the tracks start to look like they haven't had any bikes over them LOL!!
Ah well we got home thats all that counts! Was a fun day!

Just did my "Bike hours and Maintenance" spread sheet. Shows we did 2.4 hours Riding time. (My gauge only times when the front wheel is turning, so true riding time) 63K's distance.
My total MX riding career 155.6 hrs.
I'm gonna have to stop turning up at 11am so I can get that extra loop in LOL!!!!

You're not the only one Midge, my daughter fouled her plug 8km in and I had to dub her back 20+ k's. Trouble is she loved it on the back of my bike, specially going up those hills.

++ A big THANKS to Kent for retrieving her bike for me! ++

Obviously no spare plug on you - bet thats a lesson learnt

How's that old body of yours holding up. I watched you do some pretty mighty things. Were you auditioning to be superhero of the year? Face charging trees, big massive wheely walkoffs on mountain tops, superman flyovers, I just wished I didn't run out of batteries on the helmutcam so for everyone to admire!
BTW I am very sore!!

No lesson learnt for the day is not to rely on kids to pack everything they said they did. Double check (discreetly) !! I was minus my armour and camelbak with tools! When something goes wrong expect the dominoes to fall!

Not to bad, I was a bit lucky. Still went for my walk with the dog this morning so must be ok haven't really thought about it to much? Best not to dwell on what coulda happened LOL!!
That was a silly judgement mistake when my bars clipped that branch and fired me into the tree LOL!! My Fault, I felt my knees go around one side and my shoulders the other, I'm just pleased they didn't Touch! LOL!!!! Thank goodness for armour and neck braces, we where pushing along at a reasonable pace as well.
The superman fly over wasn't my fault though, that big branch fair wedged itself between the front of the back tyre and swingarm, the bloody bike stopped dead and I kept going. Bloody lucky it didn't puncture or bust anything. How it got into there opposite to the way the wheel was turning, I'll never know. Took two of us 5 mins to pull it out as you know LOL!!!

Anyway just a normal day out on the trails LOL!!!

Old body you say HA!! you must be right I can't seem to get any women to play with it anymore, now I'm available again Bugger it! LOL!!!

BTW you are only aloud to post helmet cams of the good stuff not the offs and didn't quite make it moments! LOL!!!
