Dalethorpe is on again.... Sunday 16th August 2015.

My toasted stator left me stranded last year so I'm keen to get back for this one.

That doesn't explain the bad riding though

Dalethorpe sounds like a good idea. Hawarden trail ride on next week, never done that, so that should be interesting

Everything I learned I learned from you remember.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

So…..decided to pop down to the Taiko trail ride….2.5hrs south of Chch.

Arrived to find the terrain consisted of open rolling hills, steep rocky inclines, small amount of forestry, with a couple of bogs for good measure. There were serval Enduro options which to be honest were a little challenging in places

The loop had a lot of potential, but was sooooo badly marked out, I found myself a little hesitant, unable to get in any type of rhythm.

Second lap was a little better- as the 250+ riders had been though…but again with the loop being so large it was hard to remember where the next marker was for reference, it was really that bad..

Third - conscience of time, we ripped around the novice loop before heading home.

I managed to case the bike attempting to jump a creak- landed on the face of the bank the bike basically stopped, but my ankles didn’t….woke up on monday morning……jesus….spent the day walking around like a cowboy.

Bring on Hawarden- who’s going?

Ants

Nice write up Ants, at least you can say you've done that ride. I'll be going to Hawarden with a mate, and my son and even my 6 year old grandson will be riding, should be interesting

Having not done the Hawarden ride before...first thing I do is go to youtube- really appreciate the effort Richard Streeter goes to -posting his vids:
