    Hey Ant's my guess is that was you that waved at us on the way home. I saw your van at the ride but didn't know it was you. I know what to look for next time.
    What a great day, we did the yellow track at start, then decided Ajay would handle the main track, it was bloody tough for him but he did the whole track, impressive from a 6˝ year old. We got back at about 1.30 pm got a sausage and packed up to come home. Ajay was asleep in minutes, poor wee man.
    It was fun watching people giving their bikes death trying to get up all the slippery hills and falling off or just running out of traction. As you all know I'm running a tu-bliss on rear tyre and @ 3psi i just puttered up the hills (no slip) best money I've spent in years. If your thinking of trying them just do it you'll be glad you did. Without the wheel spin my tyre is going to last a very long time.

    Hi Flash- yes that was me….It was funny, we pulled out of the car park around the same time…. There I was following a silver Cherokee with a Beta + EXC and TTR on a trailer….and I starting thinking….….thats probably Flash !

    What a ride……Loved every second of it!!!! I would rate it just short of Dalethorope….fantastic!

    We only managed two loops- did the first including the enduro sections…before Shane the guy I was ridding with fell off at the start of the second, hurting his shoulder…..so we limped all the way back- before calling it a day.

    The mighty FE did very well today- but yes it was very slippery - running around 10psi in the rear….but this talk of running 3psi…??? did you buy it from Paul?

    Life…you get one shot…take it.

    Yes Ant's i bought the tu-bliss off paul (motomox) and i run the Michelin F.I.M. enduro competition tyre, very open spacing of tread with small blocks, but works for me, it gets traction everywhere it has over 25 hours and showing signs of wear but it amazes me performance wise. Still has heaps left in it.

    How would a 250 2 stroke MX bike fear on these?
    Nothing to difficult for a first time trail ride?

    The bike will be fine, Dalethorpe is probably the most challenging Canterbury trailride, lots of tricky climbs thru forestry and very boggy last year, not a good one for kids and virgins!
    If you're not living on the edge you're taking up to much room!

    Bikes with snatchy power and suspension setup for fast dirt tracks and jumping are the bikes that have the most trouble I believe.
    Controllable power, good tyres and suspension set soft to soak up the tree roots and rocks are the bikes that help you get round instead of resisting your efforts on a trail ride.
