Dirty Weekend - Central North Island

**MXNUT** · 5th August 2013, 14:18

21st September

Adventure bikes or trail bikes ok, but will need to have proper knobbly tyres.

Trailer Trash welcome

The plan is to meet up at the Owhango hotel just before midday on the saturday and spend the afternoon exploring the 42nd traverse including all the side tracks.

Stay at the hotel for the evening have a quiet bevy or 2

and tell some lies about how good we all were and the 10m high vertical banks that we rode up and then jumped back off.

The next morning do some more of the same ( riding that is, not drinking ) and after lunch we all go our seperate ways.

Plenty of accomodation at the pub or the forest lodge next door or camping is available out the back of the hotel.

Calendar entry is up in the Public Road events section to keep track of numbers.

Questions about type of tyre / tyre pressues / engine oil brands / suspension set up and fuel range will not be entertained until the beginning of September at the earliest

would depend on how many open clearings we find on our travels through the labyrinth

I would like to but if you are doing lots of exploring down side trails it might involve more effort than my health is up to at the moment. The 42 itself would be fine but getting stuck bikes unstuck wouldn't be.
