I had an awesome day at Waipara on Sunday. 2 laps, 2 enduro sections on the mighty KDX200. That loam in the forestry sections was magic. Traction for Africa, unlike that sandy shite at Amberley. The first 2 enduro sections were very straight forward but like you said Kick, No 3 was the section of doom! My new fav ride.

Yeah funny that when they're only a few KM down the road from each otherOriginally Posted by SVboy
Only 5% of them do it so there's a 95% chance I wont have to, you'll need that Beta to keep up with the Mighty IT200 anyway
I rode the Beta 300 from the end of the Forestry back to the carpark, quite cool, awesome brakes and power, seat like granite

Waikari ride this weekend, "Challenging main track" they need to work on their wording, that doesn't sound attractive

So the main track wasn't really that challenging, only one shitty downhill with a bog at the bottom but not that hard, some good riding and big uphills

We had z Fidel too. Enduro loop would have been awesome in February. Was eye opening in November.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Yes, I enjoyed that ride. We did 3 loops of the main loop. One of our riders did all the enduros. I made it down the steep downhill the first time but stuffed up the wee bog at the bottom.... It was closed on loops 2 and 3. I think somebody got hurt. The rescue chopper seemed busy!

It was open when we went through it on loop 2 which was just after we were talking to you, did it easy compared to the first lap when I dropped the bike right at the bottom and flooded it, once it was running I went through it with no problem, all the boggy bits seem to be hard underneath so no real traction problems

I thought I was working Saturday so made other plans but that's just been changed, I would have done the Saturday and Southern Classic Sunday, ah well weekend after at Scargill then

Did day 2 of the Fairlie Trail ride off Burkes pass. Totally spectacular. First third quite technical and challenging downhills, second third, up big hills to world class views of the Mckenzie basin and Southern Alps including Aoraki, then final third, desert wasteland into fantastic hill farmland that was nothing but FUN! Almost my fav ride for this year. Waikari part 2 next week....

Out Waikari way today, 30km loop, some not bad terrain big up and downs, lot drier than last time I did it
People were queuing up to ride the mighty IT200, so I got a ride on a 2020 Beta 300 and a 2016 Beta 350 in trade, the Beta 350 rider was a bit unkind and suggested I just remove and throw away the front brake lever as it only appears to be there for show
