I need to check with Shane, but they're laying out the enduro cross track sometime this weekend and my XR should be there for anyone wanting to have a poodle without thousands of people watching.

Looks like they're laying the track out next Sat for Sunday racing.

So really - is this enduro cross thing really rideable with big bikes- or is this a pisstake- really!??


If you guys are gonna do it I'd need to shuttle my set of knobblies & front ufo lite thing up there & do a tyre changein the pits...

Right.
I asked if adv bikes could get around without killing anyone...

Txted right from the horses mouth/arse...

Yes. Buypasses & have 2 mark it 4 juners 2

So there you have it.

To elaborate, 'cos I spoke to Shane at length Fri lunchtime. Track's mostly built if you want to take a look from the road. Sat 30th they will be putting the finishing touches on, and getting a couple of juniors out to test it. They want the juniors to be able to do it and enjoy it, so it can't be too hard for them. ADV'ers are invited to come out then and give it a bash. He said the trickiest bit might be going up the face of a loading ramp, but half of it will be ramped which most people will use anyway - shouldn't be an issue as most of us are quite happy going up short steep banks. Casing out might be an issue for adventure bikes.

Also he's going to see if he can bring another spare bike (Grace's old one?) for ppl to have a go on.

"Motocross with obstacles" is how he described it, as opposed to last-man-standing stuff. Search this (and/or the endurocross??) thread for the Richmond showgrounds event from January. Also, Morleys have a DVD of last year which they can let you watch. Did Nordie make it??

Time to think about a christmas get-together. I like the idea of a picnic at Hori Bay. We can ride via Maungatapu if time permits. Mid-week say Wed after work. Meri will drive in, carrying supplies if needed. If weather is looking rubbish, then postpone by a week.

Something in the Moutere Depression might suit our westerly cohorts better, but I'm stuck for ideas. Flora Saddle carpark, watch the sunset before departing?

We could use the caving club hut, on top of Takaka hill, as it has cooking & eating gear, and shelter. But the road is sealed, apart from the driveway. Road bikes can get in there no problem, too.

What say you?

Yep. It's got most of the NMCC rides on it I'd filmed up to then including the Kikiwa Laid Back...

[NordieBoy]

Going up the Maungatapu in half an hour to test the mudguard and tooltube.

Over loaded the tooltube with 2 x 15" Buzzetti levers, 2 DRC combo spoon levers/spanners, 1 normal lever, chain breaker...

If they're still there when I get back, it works
