    Both will be slippery, Riverhead is way more technical, Maramarua is faster for the most part and if you crash it could be at a higher speed. Maramarua will have more gravel too. Your choice. The food is free at Riverhead but Maramarua is closer to Bombay.


    Twice the displacement, twice the cost and a decibel problem, I'll pass on the inside brraaaap!!!

    There is also a trail ride up near Warkworth tomorrow, I might got to that, as I hate slippery roots, and gravel isn't any better either - give me dirt, pleeease. If you live in Bombay I guess Maramarua is a better option..

    Did the riverhaed ride today, and it was mint. Really good to get on some nice wet mud even if it was my mates old kdx.

    We were about some of the last to leave in my mates white ford courier ute, and he managed to leave his helmet, gloves, and goggles on the bank. If anyone picked it up please let me know

    Didn't get there till late so only managed 2 laps, 7 is good going mate. My mste misssed the first bridge and ended up on his back in the drink, soaked through in the first 5 mins lol. Yeah the roads are a pain in the arse, at least it wasn't too dry/dusty. Think I saw you leaving just as we got back from the first lap, you got a flash green ute? Would of given you a shout before hand but didn't know I was going till last min, will do next time.

    Hopefully my mate gets his stuff back tho.

    Wait until you have a 2 year old to entertain as well as the new baby, then there really is no time to rest, LOL
