I took some pictures but none of them emphasis how sodding steep the banks were.
Don't you look at my accountant.

I spoke to Grenville. The MYRIDES guy is no longer doing it. People not paying for it etc. Grenville will be putting an events calender up on his ADVENTURE TRAIL RIDES FB page. We enjoyed the ride yesterday. Slippery in places! I tried the first enduro but lasted about 50 meters before I realized a man has to understand his own limitations...... Passed a guy cross rutted on some off camber track picking up a new KTM450SX[Not the ideal weapon!] who was too tired to even speak! He was in for a long afternoon!

One guy on a Fb page I belong to took 2 hr 30m for the first lap, some other people that I know that were parked next to you, on lap 2 we passed them at the first short slippery climb a few km in and then on lap 3 they'd only gotten as far as the next steep uphill climb, one of them had been waiting 45 minutes at the top for the other two
Now I consider myself a pretty average rider but I didn't think there was anything too difficult on the main loop, couple of the big climbs were a bit bumpy and one was quite slippery but slow and steady got me to the top easily enough each time, I think some of the time people get put off by arriving at a climb and there's a bunch of people sitting there or spread over the hill on the way up
We'd done 3 laps and were on the way home by 2pm and that was with a fair bit of pissing about

Yes I wondered about the people parked beside us. The back tyre on the Beta looked pretty worn. I agree, the hill climbs had a surprising amount of traction. I think having that fresh Bridgestone X20 on the back helped me. I think- July 9th -Harwarden forest is next. That was a fun ride last time.

Should be plenty of notice but we're heading up the Waimak tomorrow, usual place at 10am

Had the leftover steak (who knew there was such a thing) 15 min ago. But no beer on a school (holiday) night.
Been repeating the sections in my head before sleep. My timing could get some work.
