I love this ride, would be better if there was less roads and more single track in the trees. Haha yeah I can relate to the recovering part takes this old fella a few days to come right. Sweet I'll check out your footage. Cheers Richard

Hey there Todd Beautiful Valley is an awesome ride, glad you enjoyed the footage. Cheers Richard

Hey there Barry yes your right I do like this ride, yeah that section is notorious for being wet and grabbing bikes and holding on to them, your right you can loose a lot of energy getting a bike out. Yeah I rode up to the fence line to early couldn't figure out why I had got stuck.

Hey there Steven I run Michelin Starcross 5 soft on the front and Michelin Starcross 5 medium on the rear, both tyres had done 4 rides just turned the rear tyre this weekend, far king awesome tyres bit pricey through rear around $170 to $190 front around $140. Will do 2 or 3 rides then cut a sharp edge with a Knobby Knife. Yeah you would have a few issues with traction in those conditions, apart from that did you have a good day I had a blast love this ride. Cheers Richard

Hey there Phil glad you enjoyed, yes it was an awesome ride. We are lucky to have Grenville organising all these rides for us, he does this and rides for tourists for a living. Haha yeah you'd have a blast what bike are you riding. Cheers Richard

Sorry the camera I use is a gopro Session I have 4 of them and I use a proshot mount attached to the front of my helmt. Cheers Richard

Hey Richard, thanks for the reply. I hadn’t heard of the GoPro session, had to Google it.. nice! I’ve got a hero8 from memory, and a WR450 Aussie edition. Love it!!

@@venerphi Hey there Phil, don't think gopro makes the sessions anymore I went with them because they are small and less weight on the front of my helmet. I've had a few different bikes over the years and I love my 2020 YZ450fx awesome bike, you got a few hours on the WR, did my first piston at 200 hrs. Cheers Richard

Hey there Will how did you get on at this ride, there were a few greasy slippery sections. Cheers Richard

@@RichardStreeterYZ450FX i did the red arrows that hill climb that i saw you on i got up that and the 2nd one i got stuck on a rut i was only on a drz125 but it was a great trail ride im thinking of doing the one on the 11th

​@@emmaisapoobum I see ya you're wearing a light blue top, DRZ125 cool makes it a bit harder in these slippery conditions when don't have alot of horse power to play with, good on ya for getting out there and having fun. If you can definitely get out to the Omihi Coast ride on the 11th, there won't be to many rides now that it's winter, I'll be out there. Cheers Richard

@@RichardStreeterYZ450FX oh yeah we might it will be a bit wet and muddy so were thinking about it its also a long drive for us because were in Gerldine would you know my dad bye any chance he has a nice bike rmx 450

Hey there Richard yeah creates a bit of a bottle neck, riders need to hit them with a lot more speed. Cheers Richard

Hey there, yes it was a good wee climb that seemed to catch a few less experienced riders out. Were you at this ride? did you have a good day riding. Cheers Richard

@@RichardStreeterYZ450FX Wished I did did the ride. I just enjoyed you owning it where people were apprehensive.3
