Kimmy's Moto-X Park - Waikokowai

[Wolf]

dos;nt it close at easter for the winter,opens again labour weekend.

It depends on the weather. They were doing a good trade on Sunday, not utterly packed but certainly a decent number of people at $30 per bike and another kid in addition to the two we had riding at $15 each.

I went to Kimmys on Friday did four laps of the enduro and a couple of the motox.

I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!

I was buggered after one lap of the enduro.

Actually, I was buggered before I completed it but I had no choice but to somehow complete it.

I'll have to check out Thunder X now that I've gained some confidence in off-road riding.

I need to do it more often to build up my strength and confidence and improve my techniques.

By the time I got back I was battling fatigue and dehydration - which is what happens when an out-of-shape asthmatic 43-year-old tackles a gruelling 12km trail with nothing to drink.

I think I successfully recaptured the foolhardiness of my youth...

You and me both

as for recaptured ...I never lost it ...in fact i am not entiirely sure I grew up in the first place ! (

Now I REALLY want to go to Kimmys !!!!

Did I say "recaptured"? I meant "surpassed" - the other weekend beats any of the crazy shit I did as a young-un.

I enjoyed the enduro loop so much when we were ther a month or so ago, that i ended up doing 6 laps lol

Those of you who ride enduro a lot and have ridden Kimmy's trail:

How does it stack up? Is it easy, moderate, hard? I've heard it is fairly technical compared to some.

I found it an enormous challenge but that's because I'm not particularly experienced off-road and I'm out of shape. I'm interested in what the more experienced off-roaders think of it.

As an enduro loop it is extremely easy, and with the track being so wide it is fast and fun. Its when the clay gets wet or damp that makes it harder for more inexperienced riders. Its better now that it has a few small jumps and drops in it. Was hoping to get there last Friday but the weather put an end to that. I'm guessing it will be closed for the season now.

Very easy in the dry (but a lot of fun for a blast with the lads)
A bit of a challange in the wet due to clay base and lots of elevation changes

There were a few patches of wet clay and mud to liven things up - "Hump Hill" was damp enough to make it very "interesting" for me...

Hopefull I'll have my new bike very soon so I'll be able to go on a freaking ride!!!

[telliman]

not a big fan of it to be honest,

Me neither, not enough variation, its a bit to repetitive.

I think Thunder x is alot better.

[telliman]

dont get me wrong though, any time on bikes a good time, a huge fan of harrisville!
