Plenty of options, Conti twisters, Kenda SB8's to name a few. Maxxis have an option. The twisters come in 32mm width or 37mm. Big is good.

Not sure if I could get 37mm tyres on my rims......

I will have to have a ring around during the week. I have a great training area right behind my house.

Not certain how long the lap was as I never measured it. The lead rider had an average laptime of around 9: 20 and completed 7 laps in 1: 02: 06.

6 riders completed 7 laps with about 5 more doing 6 laps.

Will there be some official results posted here?

I expect so.
Waz has the lap sheet and I expect he will post them soon.

My photos are up in the gallery http://www.vorb.org.nz/photos-album-3321.html

Also found some photos here http://www.fotoengineers.com

Any one get some photos of Dents's mad drifts

AWESOME
Couldn't figure why more people didn't do the same thing. That wasn't the bestest skid you did either

Pretty funky off camber downhill corner.
Made sence to me

Coaster brake, now theres an idea. 5 speed coaster hub

Race report and results should be up today.

Thanks to everyone who came along, next year I'm thinking we'll have to make a proper mud pit and maybe a sand trap. Just so we look the part when we're finished.

I also suggested we could maybe do a race in the morning then one in the afternoon on different courses. However after the way I felt the next day maybe this isn't such a good idea, and I was going slow, very slow :-D

Just a thought, how about same course backwards?

Ahhhhh - Waz my friend ..... I have some serious thoughts about pain for next year

I know that feeling. I hit rotorua later that day for a night ride with the Tauranga MTB club. We did 4 hours riding there, but my legs were screaming at me loudly after 3.
So I only had a short ride at Summerhill on Sunday.

I would say SS would be the best.
Any short steep climbs tend to be run up any ways.
