    Thanks for all your help in trying to keep me mobile.



    The great thing was we were not mates i had only met him that morning.
    Amazing what another KBer will do to help out a fellow biker.

    It has taken me 2 weeks to get over being so pissed off about missing this ride after seing the photo's and ride report.

    I am back down that way at the end of march for the Pukemanu ride so would be really keen to try a re-run then if those dates worked out
    Hey bummer you missed this one, was looking forward to meeting you mate.
    looks like a re-run is on the cards with a bit of exploring on some of the side tracks as well.

    Otaki gorge, Grundys, Thompsons, Manakau ridge run

    Well its time again for some offroad action in the Grundys and Thompsons track.
    Ride starts at Waikanae and ends at South Manaku road, this will be a day ride and those who came on the ride last time will know what they are in for.
    Its not for beginers and the Thompson part of the track can be tricky in the best of conditions, but its awsome and has some amazing views at the top.
    I am only going to be taking in a small group like last time, 10 to 12 riders max.
    So those that are interested let me know soon and i will get a list posted up, not sure of the date yet will wait and see what people think.

    that was the hardest ride i have done on the africa. Not sure im up for it again...was awesome tho!
    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.
