Canterbury Trail Rides?

[ShinySideUp]

My husband and teenage son will be there on a KDX200 and TTR 250. The four of us did it last year and though I was a bit of a liability to the team, we all had a great day! It was a really memorable ride. Have fun everyone!

was a good ride.....

Yes a good day indeed. 1st lap I rode the Beta 300 and had no off's and no problems anywhere, bloody awesome.
Back at the car number two son convinced me to ride the WR 450 on lap two. The Aussie map was probably not the best choice for today as it's rather abrupt and aggressive. I didn't have the power tuner with me to change it. So off we went on lap two, all was going great until some tree roots thought otherwise, and off I went. I hit ground hard on my shoulder, nothing broken, but I'm struggling to lift my arm just now. Just so you know it happened when I wasn't expecting it.
On the second lap the hill climbs got much harder as the ground broke up and exposed more and more tree roots. Lots of riders struggling to get up these climbs with bikes and riders stuck at various stages up the hills. Somehow age and wisdom helped me and I made all the climbs on my first attempt without incident.
So all n all a great day

Wont be doing that one, changed to a different carb on the RMX and need to sort the jetting, that's todays job, all going well Amberley will be my next one

Well it seems I survived another day riding, yay.
After doing the first lap and one enduro deviation on the Beta RR300, We swapped bikes and I rode the WR 450 for lap two.
We thought it'd be a good idea to do all three normal enduro deviations this lap. ( leaving the extreme one for experts)
So the first was short and not too difficult. The second took us down a steep fence line down to the river ( dalethorpe forest on the other side) I think it was four times we crossed that river (quite deep) filled our boots a little, not bad at all. The final one was tough, it was at the limit of my ability and I was getting buggered. One part was more than I could manage and a really nice guy rode the WR up that bit, the rest I managed on my own.
All n all a tough but rewarding day.
Bring on "Murry Downs" next month.

Getting sorted for Amberley next weekend, fork seals are done, barkbusters fitted, added a bash plate and the new carb seems to work pretty well with a bit better throttle response, should be going even faster when I crash now

I'll be there. Some physio on my shoulder from my off at the dalethorpe forest ride has me moving better, was ok while riding at flagpole but gave me hell that night. I don't want to crash until I'm 100%
Good to hear the RMX is going well. It should be reliable now you've rebuilt most of it.

They are for practicing riding on the back wheel and saving the front tyre, that's if ya can still get it up old boy.
Anyway it's a change from riding on bulldozed farm tracks.
