    Hi Pablo

    I will meet you at the Karapoti end at 11am - I will start from Mungatook end at 9 a.m.

    has someone got a cell number so I can contact someone if needed - mine is 0274499115.

    I was up in the Mungatooks today with my younger son - its a bit slippery in places....

    Thanks for the great day, an excellent ride with great company.
    Karapoti always delivers a few challenges when wet, not to much carnage this time though
    I was pretty stuffed after that, not used to standing up for so long.
    I might actually have to get ..... fit.

    Heres a few pics , didn't manage to capture any action shots.

    those pics bring back memories, memories of Pain! did it a few time on the mtb.
    A universal dream of greatness is that
    We push ourselves to the limit
    Yet still be brilliant when the chips are down.
    Sometimes , The struggle kills the dream.

    I was pretty tired as well - fortunately I talked my son out of going trail riding when I got home - I spent the rest of the afternoon panelbeating and re-attaching my numberplate and associated bits and pieces.

    We could never lose you Rob - we could always just head towards the rising cloud of steam... does GS stand for Geyser of Steam?

    The 450 is in its element in the Akas - it has more power than I know how to use - when you give it full throttle a little flashing sign appears saying "you are about to suffer a spectacular and painful death...".

    Glen and I were up there again today swapping between the DT230 and the wr - didn't matter what he was on he was still way quicker than me. Glen thinks wr stands for "wild roosts" which generally seem to always be aimed at me....

    I know what you mean Fergie - I've ridden a mountain bike a couple of times from the Mungatooks through to Battle Hill on the Paekak Hill road. What a freaking idiot I must have been - 8hrs of 'push up vertical hill' immediately followed by 'ride dowwwwwn vertical hill' .....

    "Honest its this long..." Bullshitting in the woods..
