    I'm not saying the mud is deep over Thorndon, just make sure you bring a snorkel for the Saturday ride. :lol:

    Usual 9am start at the Kart Track car park.

    They have now put more signs up in Holden's Wood asking us not to ride on the trail along by the Kart Track, but they will not touch any of the other trails and we are welcome to use them.

    I think we will have to live with that to keep the rest, plus they have fairly barricaded the trail up now, pity it was a nice one. :cry:

    Don't really know, I'll have to ask someone over at the Kart Track, they might be able to shed some light on it.

    Also says they have put up CCTV, but I doubt that.

    Only about half of the trail by the car park has been blocked, and someone has put in a trail to bring you back to the trail by the road.

    rich.bikeryder It was good to see you all be it very brief! LOL
    I'm glad we didnt come with you guys as i know how fast that lot ride sometimes, we were in tatters and did a lot of stopping. My brother hadnt ridden properly since november so was struggling a little.
    Conditions werent as bad as i thought they were going to be. Certainly didnt need my full waterproof trousers on.

    was going to say that you went the wrong way but was nice to see you , 29er eh! how did it fair against the mud ? didnt notice brads all in one :lol: only stayed out for 2 hours not my usual 4 :oops: didnt really go that fast as the gloop was grabbing hold of our tyres ,ill have to meet up with you on another trip some time .... :wink:

    Yep always ride sundays though as the wife goes to play horses on saturday. the 29er is fantastic for our neck of the woods, so much faster covering the same amount of ground as the 26". I'm in the process of buying a FS 29er too as i really miss my genius but after riding a 29er i'm never going back. the only small issue is tight twistys like in donkey lane.
    People complain about acceleration, and unless your a race bred whipit you aint gonna notice that too much.
    Mud clearance and going through mud is definatly better, i think thats the only reason i keep up nowadays!

    Saturdays riding was a mudfest, some of the steeper slopes left me with wheels spinning trying to find traction.

    Did a long ride of 4 hours 20 minutes at race pace, only one stop of 10 minutes, eased off some of that Christmas merriment. :lol:
