South Head Trail Ride Sunday 16th Nov

[Ktmboy]

Yes, this will be a goodie.

We did a recce ride yesterday and the area that this will be held in is near virginal forest.
Well,.. not the native type of virginal.. meaning that it hasn't been ridden in for a good half dozen years. This ride is right at the top of the Kaipara heads and promises to deliver a true forestry ride with flat knacker tracks coupled with tighter knarly stuff for the more experienced.

We had Chop (experienced track designer LOL), and Danger (Jeez he eats all the time, I mean he brings along a fully kitted packed feast) along and the general consensus was a big positive.

Photo's up tomorrow.

Special Thanks to Red Rider for the artwork. This guy is a legend!!

Any one know if Kawasaki will have a KDX200 test bike?
I'm guessing not seeing as they're not making them anymore.

A couple of "view" shots from advantage points looking toward Pouto and the Bombing range.

No, we can't ride in the padocks below. Damn.
Funny thing was we came around the bend to deserted army camp.
Danger thought that they had a cuppa tea and lunch waiting for us. We felt like Goldilocks and the 3 bears.

Good on ya KTMBoy and crew for setting up the ride... look forward to it.

Any good hillclimbs up that way?

[notch]

There was another ride up that way a while back (with the Sandpit crew?). It was the by far the _best_ ride i've been on - lots of open flowing sections, tight stuff, and a natural terrain mx track. If this ride is anything like the last it will be awesome!

[Danger]

Yeah same guys but different part of the forest and new tracks all together. We have most of the fast flowing stuff sorted already, now its a case of putting in some tighter windy stuff in between for those that like that sort of thing.
