I had a lovely sifty ride in Makara Peak just now. I did an official safety inspection up Lazy Fern, stopping to help on the second corner up, which would you believe is looking awesome! Then along Magic Carpet, Koru, Sally Alley, Ridgeline Extn, another official safety inspection on the new section of SWIGG, then Starfish out Very sifty and very nice

that stupidly and vigoursly demanding PNP couse of round 4. but o well my legs held up and got a resonable position

Your legs did better than mine, but then I did get a spot prize, my first one ever !

puni mtb park out at pukekohe

Makara this morning and then took pics of the boys jumping at Karetane (sp?) - what an awesome day !!!

No where. I've ridden once in the last week (and only for 45 mins) :hmm:


shitty weather + exams.

Results are up, I managed to stagger around in 2:03, which isn't too bad, given the way I felt between Belmont trig and the middle ridge downhill.

its good for a trail ride, lots of track jammmed into a small block
there are a couple good jumps (like the creek jump)

I had a look see at the Karapoti Challenge course with Monolith and Danger_Mouse.
What a superb day it was
A fun course too, especially the way back !

Its inspired me to do a big ride on Monday. Thinking about the 8hr mark and hopefully somewhere new or at least somewhere haven't been in a while.

Any suggestions anyone?

I was thinking of riding from Battle Hill to Paraparaumu via the orange hut on monday then back along the coast through QE park and up Paekakariki Hill Rd

sign me up. What time?

and I'm still thinking about it just didn't happen today

3 runs of Victoria Park and Bownvale was feeling pretty fast as well

maidstonage, hitting up the track drop, 2nd gap, chute and hip and clearing them all easily
