    Is your bike road legal, or does it have to be strictly off road? Some of the Nelson crew are having a poke around the gravel tracks over this way this weekend.
    Alternatively you could wander down to Patriarch and do Onamalutu on the way.
    The road to Patriarch is a piece of piss, just go as far as you can til you hit the snow.

    Wish I was going down for the racing
    My little XR hasn't seen a track since the Hinetai racing over in Tapawera.

    It is cross-country, not enduro. Longer, faster laps than moto-x. Doesn't have the timing or trials-like sections etc of enduros.

    Heaps of fun; I raced all three rounds of this series last year and loved every minute of it, even when I was riding like shite - which happened more often than I would like.
    Cheers,
    Colin

    Faster?

    I did the first round last year and it was dry enough that you didn't lap me

    Some of those downhill sections shook my poor arms about a bit though.
