Well not many have responded to a xmas ride at Thunder the weekend of the 20th, so I think that I'll be heading down for a last ride of the year to the Mr Motorcyles ride this weekend at Paparimu

Sunday 14th December 2008

Paparimu, in association with the Paparimu School

Anyone else keen to head along?

Is the ride like most of the other ones? paddocks and hills and roads?

I haven't done this ride specifically, but I think it's another rolling farmland type ride, so you should be sweet. My partner did a bunch of the MM rides last year for his first ones, and I had a go at one the other week, doable enough, just a few scary dropoffs

there is a couple of real good down hills and good hill climb inthe forest is awsome.

Bikes in bits at the moment but if I get it back together in time i'll head down.

I heard that this one is nasty if its wet.

**scott411** · 8th December 2008, 14:17

Paparimu is much steeper and more techincal than all our other rides, if is is wet this weekend it will be slippary, to be honest if you think Glen Murray had big drop offs i do not reccomend Paparimu, it is much steeper,
