    Well I should have changed my tyre, the old knackered one found no real traction in the dry or the occasional wet bits. Made it up the A sections, but that big rock on Collarbone hill required a relaunch to get shot of it. Would have not coped in the wet.

    Thanks all.

    Was an awesome day. Think we ended up with around 240 riders. I spent most of the day riding the kids track picking them up. Oh and dodging helicoptors.

    not sure why but I didn't really get into the first loop, but the 2nd loop was a blast. loved it!

    had a new S12 on and all the way round i was working out how much it would cost to replace my tyres every 2 or 3 rides, new tyres are the shiz!

    did the rain hit? we were hurrying to get through the 2nd loop before it did, so not many pics on that loop. it came down pretty hard going through greytown.

    hope the guy being helicoptered out is ok, bought back memories of my mate getting a ride to the hospital.

    Awesome pics. Word is that Paul (on stretcher) has broken ribs all on one side.

    Great ride, loved the dirt hill climbs, managed to get up collarbone hill on first approach though not without stopping but that effort meant I was fair stuffed by the second lap and it took me three attempts to get up that other rough hill climb - second A section after the end of the top loop. There were plenty of bikes scattered everywhere. Very pleased it wasn't wet or there would have been carnage. Video of the first 2 mins to follow.
    Smoke 'em if you have 'em

    You run what you brung, and pray you brought enough

    Your picture's in my wallet and I'm sitting on it. And if that isn't love, I don't know what is

    Up to collarbone hill, switched off then as there was a log jam to get up it, and forgot to turn it back on.

    yeah what surprised me is I was sitting on the corner bank waiting for it to clear enough for an attempt & signalling to riders that there was like 4 people scattered all accross the track & the odd person still tried to go for it. With predictable results.
