My old stomping ground that part of the world. Wicked mudhole. Looks bloody cold alright, maybe those teeth broke from ch-ch-chattering. Never seen a sprocket like that before! Deep water crossings suck, or rather engines suck when in deep water. Should be sortable with a good tip upside down and drain out (?), hope it works out OK.

Double A loops were extreme. On Saturday the AA was mostly just one long 3-4 km AA loop rather than a few AA loops that would've given you the option of rejoining the main track. So once committed to AA that was that - death or glory. Never before on a trail ride have we had to use ropes to haul two wheelers out of the tough stuff! Bloody exhausting, but rewarding looking back on it. Just a pity they didn't shut some of it off to the sports quads cos they slowed the flow up considerably when they bottomed out. And I know some of the guys on quads would have preferred not to be in that stuff. All said and done though, great main tracks and not the place to be complacent given the frozen ground and short grass could catch you out at any time, quite spectacularly in my case at about 80 clicks!
