    You fell over a lot.

    Does that narrow it down any?

    The sun came out for the last half hour


    That was... Slippery...

    The junior track was cool and about 10km long.
    The senior track was a cool with knobs on and about 20km.
    One bit, the seniors went up a steep muddy valley and I had no chance.
    I'd already done it twice whilst filming the juniors. The big bikes dig deep and roost shit everywhere...

    I fell off 4-5 times. All 2 wheel and 2 feet drifting at <5kph type offs...

    Oh, and if your tyres weren't brand new, you were going to have... Issues...

    Oh, and riding back through Pig Valley and Wairoa Gorge it felt like the bike was stuck like shit to a blanket compared
