I'll probably be thru the 42 Traverse a few days earlier, mid week. Will let you know if there's any issues with the track

That date works for me.
I've already done some exploring around there and found some slippery downhills that I doubted the WRR could have got up but fortunately we didn't need to backtrack

:
The Top Track to 10 Bunk Hut is a good track for medium adv bikes.
Climo Track is for the dirty bikes. braap, braap. If it's not mud it's camouflaged holes.

Great Pics Andy.

Yep, this is definately a ride for single cylinder only bikes with full knobbly tyres.

Hopfully the weather will play the part

for this date.

Hi Guys,yesterday through work we hosted an MX track day at Maddix MX park in tauranga with some of our vendors who are into dirt bikes.

Anyway, to make a long story short on a long fast uphill i got cross rutted and it all ended in tears with a badly disslocated shoulder, so i spent last night in tauranga hospital.

Right arm is in an immobilizer for the next 3 weeks, then physio after that.

So no bike riding for me for the next 6 + weeks.

If you Guys still want to have the ride, then carry on without me.

It may be early next year before i am back on a dirt bike.

Dino, since you have a weekend off, I am still keen to get away and do something? What about blackflag and his new wr?

**GPS MAN** · 10th October 2013, 06:46

Hey Mark ~ that sounds bad....

Hope you get to feeling better soon...

Having separated my right shoulder twice...ouch! I know what you are going through

Get better and be ready for the Dusty Butt!!!
