    Port Waikato Trail Ride Sunday 30 Jan

    http://www.silverbullet.co.nz/event.php?id=7829

    Who's heading down? Really neat ride for the views and stuff. I really struggled on one of the expert section hills last year on my wee RM, so looking forward to creaming it this year! And trying the beach run if I'm brave enough?!

    great views

    Yep might try and do his one will be my last ride from AK.
    Did it a few years back including the bit on the beach and river crossing and up a hill that was slippery and pretty gravelly as I remember. Awesome views over sunset beach ( i think it is) and the sea.

    You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
    And now a third thing a bloody big gun to shoot theives with!

    yep you're dead right scott the weather looks like rain in which case it will pretty muddy and slippery. Might make it gruesome or fun depending on ability and what you term as fun!

    Its a good ride, and if Oparau enduro wasnt on the same weekend, id be there for the third year running.
    IMO, the rain will do the tracks more good than harm, if the forecast now is accurate, unlikely but hey, then it will rain saturday and be ok-ish for sunday, and on those grounds alone I would go
    we may just go where no ones been
