Thread: GNCC Round 1

Those steep sections inside pine forests in sand or pumice country can be real bastards for getting stuck in ruts. Gotta practise pivot turns and be prepared to go off piste for a few meters to get around those telecom trenches.

Worst I ever saw was 300 bikes, all stuck in the rain in pumice country, all digging trenches till the bikes were hung up on the pegs and expansion chambers! Only guys who got passed were the pivot turn maestros who worked their way around the mess through the tussock

Riding that fast through timber is now but a distant memory....thank fuck!!! Gives me goosebumps just watching it.
