Dunedin rides

[Ruralman]

Its also coming into trail riding season. 1st November is the Waihola Lake to Shore - a good ride of about 120-140km return pending on which way you go.

Done this one the last 3 years - yes it is one of the better rides with lots of variety and well organised. Should have my new Gas Gas delivered and run in by then so will be keen to go this year again.

In case you are wondering about fuel range - they cart your fuel cans to the halfway point lunch stop, so you don't have to go 120+km on a tank

dont really know what the problem with his bike is yet, but the motor need's to be pulled apart so it's major

wow that sucks, on the bright side, he may as well put those cams in while the motor is in bits

Yes the event has grown every year - 680 last year I think.
As far as kids trails go I don't think this one is that good for the real learners as their routes are basically just forestry roads most of the time and they get bloody dusty. If they are capable of doing the intermediate sections they are a lot more fun.
I should have both my boys with me this year and a new bike capable of keeping me well on the pace!! It will be the first of these rides for my younger son but he's done enough round the farm to be able to handle the intermediate stuff.
Let me know if you want to bring your kids out for a practise before the ride or have you got plenty of places for them to go?

Well Actually, am always looking for new places to ride as it is getting very limited. Have been discussing looking for a practice track. Usually go down the road to Akatore.

Wee bit limited here until after lambing and tailing but then there is a lot of good trail riding and lots of places just to practise basic skills - from past experience of the organised trail rides the one skill learners need to master early on is how to stop and then get started again on a hill (or turn it around for another go) and its best to get that sorted without a great queue of frustrated dirt bikers waiting for them to get out of the way.

Have you ever gone to the track at Titri ?? (near Waihola) - not sure if you have to be an OMCC member ?? but it looks like they have an area for juniors as well as tracks for better riders. I went in for a look one day but didn't have a bike with me. ANyone else been round it ??

Mutley is nagging me to post something for her - I can't stand the high-pitched whining any longer.

We were heading down Stuart Street at 12ish today (in the work cage, heading for a job), and we were passed by a bike (looked like an old Trumpy maybe). Anyways, the guy had a leather jacket on, with a big picture of Mutley (from the Wacky Races) on the back.

Does anyone know who it is, and where they got the picture done?
