Hey All
Two day trail ride at maramarua on friday and saturday, Campings free and they will be using the same tracks that are to be used for the GNCC on the 10th. i went down there last week for the twilight ride and it was fun, Kinda dry , but with this rain it should be a handful on friday...So, Who's going?..

This sounds like fun.
I see fire extinguishers are required for this ride. Might try and get down there for a day.

[vazza]

Where do you buy those mini fire extinguishers from?! Mitre 10 have em?

[xxblackbirdxx]

they usually sell them at the events, I bought mine from a trail ride but my friends have picked them up from repco or supercheap . I have a spare one Vazza . Let me know if you want me to bring it along for the event.

Have a look in the Desert Storm thread. I posted a link to some. $20/each.
I ordered 3 and got them delivered. They turned up about 3 days later.

So, are new tracks opened up on Saturday?

[xxblackbirdxx]

I was speaking to Greg power at the trail ride and he didnt suggest anything to that effect. So i believe its going to be the same tracks for both days. However the friday ride will stretch on for longer in the evening than the saturday one.
Just checked the Met service and there is heavy rain forecasted for saturday. I reckon friday is the day for me...and saturday is for the guys who love the slippery stuff and like a challenge

Don't think we will make this ride but can still be hopefull. Can someone tell me the best place to mount the extinguishers required for many of the trail rides????

I've got mine attached to some bits on the front of my camal-pak thing. I also wear body armour with back protection so should be ok if I fall.

Other than that most tape them to the front fender, but a few fall off like that.
