    Went out there on Sunday, was going to the Honda trail ride with the kids, the Gods must have been smiling on me, as I ended up going on me own.
    So decided to go to the Sandpit, get away from the crowd, was a good move.
    Once I left the carpark and headed off I never came across anybody till I got back to the carpark again, it was like I was the only one out there.
    I really enjoyed it, there are so many tracks Ive never been on, I'm normally stuck in the family area.
    If I can work it with the boss, I may try get of work early on Thursday afternoon and head out.
    Now I got to Ops for Thursdays, South Auck Thursday night ride or the Sandpit afternoon ride.
    Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.

    Still open during the week as far as I know (Wed to Sunday, late night Thursday). If there was to be any change in the operation then KBers would the first to know. Keep an eye on the website.
    Will be open on the stats during the school holidays as well.

    took the oldest girl out there about two thursdays ago had a wicked time did the big dipper for the first time!! No probs but the lass had a abit of a problem I ended up doing it for her but took 3 attempts!!!

    Also went round the superbowl for about half an hour till the bike overheated!!! it was great nobody there at all. spent about 3 hours there going all over the place. even haired round the old kids track, mx track enduro loop, dead forest, covoy track.

    Did miss the old whoops though seemed harder on a groomed track that only has had about three bikes gone through it than when it was rutted all over the place.

    Anyway you sandpit guys are doing a great job. keep it up you've got my vote.
    Pity I missed the opening on saturday as involved in a gala but will be up there again soon with all the family.

    You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
    And now a third thing a bloody big gun to shoot theives with!
