Man, what a great day. My first serious off road event on the KLR and I was very pleased with the event and the bike.
Many, many thanks to John and his team for the superb organisation.
Pic 1 & 2 -waiting at Plimmerton school before the off.
I, like quite a few others, had a spot of bother with instruction 27 - turn left up a gravel track 50 meters past the bridge. Going on up this track led to a paddock with a number of possible exits - none of which matched the route sheet. Pic 3 shows some of the queue waiting to climb a fairly snotty track. However the consesus was "this ain't right" so we turned around, went further along Karori Sth road and found the correct bridge, with the turn as described, 50 m on up the road.

As to the question of reducing pic size, there are many ways but the best I have found is to use IrfanView (free download). Ctrl +R brings up the image size edit dialog. Saving as 800 x 600 will reduce a 1.5m image to 120k
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
