Still loving it.
My brain is working better every ride which is encouraging.

No but you're probably getting confused between age and size by the relative youth of the riders grandad.

I knew you were considering a move to the coast, where abouts did you end up?

Went to the Peaks ride today. Not our favorite ride. Probably the steepest ride on the calendar. Weather was mint. Enduro 1 was super steep and shaley on the way up. Even steeper on the way down! Very pleased I managed to ride almost all of it, with some sensible bulldogging as needed...
I missed the turnoff to Enduro 2, which was lucky for me as it was super steep downhill. My mate did it and had a bad fall while bulldogging, leading to a buggered shoulder and the end of his day. Enduro 3 was hard enough when I did it 2 years ago, but no, Grenville made it tougher yet. Very steep uphills but I muddled through. Then a long slog on the main track, punctuated with a nasty double hill climb. A bit hard on newer riders I thought.
Enduro 4 was new, a hill near the car park. VERY slippery wet grass and off camber mud. Spent a bit of time in horizontal reflection before working my way to the top and down the other side. Just the one loop today, defo getting old....

Did Berm Buster. Must be the best organised event in country .
Loamy soil or volcanic. Just great to ride with 3 main tracks with lots of graded breakouts from 1 to 5 and a few new ones for Sunday.
The loam soil tracks in particular are soft and move but also provide traction and make berms. But tye volcanic ones through new pines are great too.

Yeah it's a long drive. But worth it. You can camp, but wtf would you? Taupo has accommodation and heaps of quality eats.

I should have thought and messaged you, I did the Saturday, the three main tracks and what seemed like dozens of breakouts up to grade 3
After day 1 we considered the next day but didn't have the energy, a lot of the grade two would be main single track down south, the main track is mostly like a groomed farm track and very fast for a lot of it
Now I'm in Rotorua hospital with pancreatitus, I was meant to be in the boat back today

Bumer hope that clears ok.
Yeah 3 years ago we'd do grade 3s and a few 4s with company. Now I'm just happy that I can do main track and then started branching out on 2s. Off Huskie I did Lil moto loop 3 times each loop, Motivation, Double D, Happy ending 1-4 and a few others.
Sunday tye Old Schhol track through new pines was spectacular.

Check out Richard Streeter's footage on Youtube of the Peaks ride esp the enduro one. Great scenery, you don't get the full impact of the steepness, but you get the idea.
