$45 entry per rider, $30 club membership if not already, $20 day licence if not already MNZ licensed. No big deal.

Anyone know what bike won best bike today at show? Nothing really jumped out at me apart frm the old Honda twin shocky on the Morley stand.

Did anyone get out to the forest? I was plum tuckered after making coffees all day.

Topo, CrazyFrog and me went foresting.
The first hill was far too slippery.
Trees down all over the tracks.
Huge washout on Scout Rd.
Tree down and no saw on Westley Rd.
Crazy went back at about 4:30 and Topo and I carried on down Duck Pond Rd and ended out at the bottom of the Wanga's.

I'm still knackered though.

Bodes well for the 6hr

Big tree down on the Pelorus side of the Summit.
No probs getting under it though unless you've got a tall screen.

Started my 6-hour training today

Over to the last pylon track doing all the side tracks and back again standing as much as possible.

I hope to be able to do the pylon tracks on the way over and back standing all the way whilst lofting the front at will within 2 weeks

May gear down a tooth on the front though.

Track was in good condition 3 hours ago...

Did the complete loop inc up to the track proper standing the whole way and holding my elbows up

Right branch would be good but the rivers will have a bit much flow.

I thought you computer types were ment to spend the daylight hours locked in small dark rooms turning commadore64's and SEGA MEGADRIVE's into the super computers that will eventually take over the world in 2015

If the river level's up i'll just have to go back up nelson's version of "CNUT hill"
