    Redwoods Trail Ride South Waikato, Queen's Birthday weekend! Who's going?

    What's it like ?

    http://www.silver-bullet.co.nz/event.php?id=8538

    I have heard it is Forrest, ash pumice with a few tunnels ? It is closer to where I live 50mins, so I am tempted to go along

    from memory there were 2 tunnels, one of them had a funny rut in the middle which steered you into the wall, falling off in the tunnels isnt nice hahaha

    I cant wait I had 3 trail rides cancelled over the past few weeks, last one was Bugger the boss that I took time off for so I am sooOOOO looking forward to this one!!

    I have a light on my bike that kinda and kinda does not work :P It is driving me nuts, poor bulb contacts that I am struggling to cure for some reason.

    I second the general opinion that the Redwoods rides are farking awesome. Done a few, trying to convince a bunch of town-dwelling mates that driving more than an hour for a ride is actually worth it, so hopefully will make a few more...

    Not really, just tends to drain better than dirt, so bad weather isn't as much of an issue. Still can get pretty sloppy if it's really wet though.

    Enjoy the ride Leyton!

    been and done it today

    two very different trails, plenty of mud, massive hill climbs. Plenty of traction

    A bloody good ride and very well run, thanks to the guys from Trail Ride NZ

    cant wait for Atamuri in November.
