Bumpalumpa.

Feck knows what the weather is going to be doing, supposed to be fine on Sunday now, but it's also supposed to be chucking it down in Auckland at the moment, which it isn't...

Still, rain or shine, I'm in.

Its been steady light rain down here, unless it pours down tonight/tomorrow it should be quite nice.

Im in as I've spent me monies geting set up. Trying to get hold of a trailor (and car with towball) off my mate... You may still get a PM from me begging for gas if im riding there

[Jay GTI]

Oh cool, yeah hope the weather is as it's supposed to be on Sunday, it will be dust free if it's light rain at the moment

Gas-wise, I'll bring a full gas can anyway, then just look for two guys in a white Transit van, with KTMs and I'm the bearded one. We're aiming to be there for about 9am, give or take.

That way, even if you don't really need the fuel, I'm still happy to give you a top-up at lunch for free and if you find me before the ride you'll know who to look for when we stop.

I hope they got some rain out there to kill the dust, Sunday is looking good.

Got to sort my rear brakes (Master kit, pads etc) and a couple of other minor things but I should be there

If you can't find Jay keep an eye out for a wr250r,kx85 and kdx 200 we will have spare gas as well.

just spoke to Craig who marked it today, 43km before lunch, and 43km after lunch as well,

Well I think I got ~10k in before hitting that jump where you go over a drain colvert... Was way to left and ended up hitting the lip of the drain (I think) with the front wheel, forks fully compressed and broke 2 spokes.

Wasn't even a big jump but I hit it to hard for my skill level; longest I've been airborne

So that ended my day pretty quickly just had to exit the trail onto a road then back to the hall.... The armour paid for itself in one day... May have fractured my hand, will see what it feels like over the next few days

Sorry not meet any of you, got there way to late was about the 3rd to last to get onto that first section.

At least I got to learn the process of getting there etc

I did have a look for your WR250R at the lunch stop and wondered if u had problems. Interesting start to doing trail rides.

[Jay GTI]

Ah bugger yeah not the best way to start trail riding, hope the hand turns out to be ok!

Had a look for you in the morning and at lunch as well but all good, catch you at the next one

Lots of bikes out there..... I probably saw you briefly out on the trail I think.... Not to many road kitted bikes out there but didn't see you at the lunch stop,

Nah I started at the front but kept stopping to take pics but had plenty of time for lunch, It was after lunch I saw what I thought was you.... I was pretty late getting back to the start, mate was late so I didn't see him until lunch.
