Bel Ray Round 1?

[scott411]

to be fair, the property you raced on is probably the steepest of all the Bel-Ray tracks, most of them are on better land, if you can survive that one the rest will be easy,

a camel bak is a very good investment for racing as well, especially when you have to lift your bike out of a hole,

Yeah that is the impression I've rapidly formed over the week since, I definitetly picked the wrong race to have my first go at. Rd2 is Waikaretu, which I know is good riding territory, thanks to doing the Mr Motocycles trail ride there earlier this year (easily the best trail ride I've ever been on!). Different farm I understand and no beach time, but there's nothing too scary out that way.

I have a camel bak, for some retarded reason I didn't take it with me on Sunday, some dumb idea about the extra weight slowing me down...

I agree Waikertu is amazing riding country, be interesting to see whos place its on, might have to ride that one if its not too hot then,

camel baks are a life saver, much easier places to save the extra couple of KG's

That is the retarded part, there is no way on Earth I am the kind of rider where any weight saving of that magnitude is going to make any difference what so ever to my speed... but being able to suck a couple hundred mls of my magic hydration mix, while digging myself out of a bogged up creek bed...

It's at Fry's Farm, on Bothwell Road. A quick map check shows it's a bit further inland than the Mr Motocycles ride, but still will be great riding. I'm keen!

Frys farm was used for NZXC champs a couple of years ago. It's like a golf course compared to Starks and not too dusty. We had a neat river section (bike wash!) to cool every one down

Sweet, I'm sold then! Cheers for that, will mark it on my calendar.
