Ray Wrights’s Farm, Murray Road, Pukekawa
Mum, Dad, and I were up that way for a Saturday cross country so we thought it would be a good idea to bring my trials bike up for a ride on the Sunday.
I was riding with Cody Davey. I had a good start to the day, clearing section one on the first attempt. From there, though, it started to go a bit downhill for me.
I couldn’t seem to get my head screwed on properly. If I was getting the section it was all good but as soon as something started to go wrong I completely lost it and got a five instead of a three. Or just did stupid dabs and got a three instead of a one or a two.
My favorite sections were five and seven. Frustratingly, I only cleared five once. It had a very tight corner over some left hand rocks and I kept mucking it up.
I got two points on seven on the first lap because I was in the wrong gear for the hill climb but I cleaned it on the last three laps.
My least favorite was ten. You had to do a left hand corner going over this rooty vine thing and I stuffed it up all day. I probably should have walked it again but I didn’t and kept mucking it up.
I came second to last and really should have done better but, apart from a really bad score, I had a good day.
