well, a few of us headed out early sunday morning into the coromandel ranges after heavy rain and survived a few treacherous rutty, crevasse-ridden clay and rock slides that can only be described as f**kin extreeeeme !!!!
In between dodging kamikaze riders on homo chariots, dragging bikes under fallen trees , leaking petrol, giant bogs and crevasses that would swallow bike and rider whole, we managed a solid days riding- finally getting back to base at 8pm with police waiting and search and rescue not far away.
Myself and daff having the only 2 lights for 6 riders making it interesting for the journey out as you may imagine.
Here's a helmetcam clip of our daytime adventures before things got real interesting-thanks to the lads jt, xen, daff, hondapower and vazza for the great teamwork that was required to see out the day.

oh man i wish i had gone now. i always miss the epic rides. must be about time for a wires group soon??

have always managed to get up by pushing and AWD but some of those hills were so extreme there was no other way to get up other than by tow line. Also, the bog holes were crazy and when the night time came that was another story.
