Muriwai ride tonight (16 March)

**3L4NS1R** · 16th March 2009, 08:16

Last free night for a while. Wanna go for a ride, and not just a road cruise.

Anyone keen for a ride out to Muriwai tonight? Photo opportunities included.

Keen.

I can show you that semi off road based loop to get out there if people are keen.

Haha, yup. What with those road slicks of his, shouldn't be a problem...

You think they're slick, you should see the tyres on AndMac's Transalp and he goes everywhere we go on our knobblies and the bugger almost never comes off - shows his skills are WAAAY better than mine I'm sad to say! He's an inspiration though!

The stock tyres actually worked quite well in the sand, am quite impressed.
Now they just need the mud test, did not manage to find any today, but there is always another day.

Looks like you two had a blast!

Yeah it was great fun ride, was good to meet Sam too, hopefully do a few more of these micro adv rides.

And now for the video. At the end of Sam going up the sandy hill you can see my bike about to fall over.
