    Good ride today, nice to have the WR working again and the newly installed 'One light Clutch' is cool.

    Murray Downs training day

    Our family went out to Murray Downs today for Grenville's training day. We had a great day and received lots of tips and support. Began with practice standing up on the pegs and wheel locks and stuff. Then we took to the trail, which was forestry and rolling hills with some fab views out to the coast. To my embarrassment (and my kids!) I had an audience for most of my many minties moments. But the same was true when I tackled a section that held the promise of going spectacularly wrong - the applause and thumbs up made my day!
    Big thanks to Mark if you are on kiwi biker.
    Hope everyone doing the ride tomorrow has fun.

    Loved the track today, main course turned out to be a good mix of open paddock and forest.

    trail biking = yay

    Sounds like a fun time had by all. You guys had a beaut day for it.

    My muscles are soooo sore! The bruises are coming out. And I burnt myself on the exhaust. Then there is my poor pride - the first thing my kid did when he arrived back at school today was tell the other mothers that I canned off my bike. (Thankfully he didn't elaborate on the number of times!!)

    When all is said and done, when the kids have poked all my bruises and my husband has reenacted my most undignified minties moments, I just revel in having been part of the fun.

    It's not a very sophisticated word, and yet it sums up trail biking for me in just one syllable - Yay !
