[QUOTE="Michelle, post: 711374, member: 16598"] We're riding less at the moment, but that's mainly because of xmas & new year's & just doing other stuff (like family visits). The club as a whole is doing more, as over winter we run a family day every second month, a harescramble & a two man race (last year it was only two rounds), so about 7 events from May-November. There's also an enduro in that time that the club puts on. Our enduro season starts Februrary (about a four hour drive from here) and finishes about September. Four hour drives doesn't sound like much compared to over there, but it's different. I get more tired from being a passenger in a three hour drive here than I did in 8 or so hour drives over there - what's a straight road? Our main roads go through towns, so it's slow down, speed up, turn, go around that roundabout, now which way, oh let's find somewhere to stop & get some food etc etc. You don't get off the freeway & everything's there, you get off & have to find shops, unless you're driving through a town, then there might be something. We also don't have "free riding", we apply to the forestry for permits to use the forests & have to work around other users (horses, mountain bikers, 4wds, runners, dog sledders & whoever else). There is a bike park where you can go whenever, but we went there just after xmas & didn't have any fun. There's also a couple of farms that are open for riding, but it's getting motivated to go down there to ride. Farmland rides are big here - a lot of them are charity rides, so the money goes to the community that allows us to use them (schools, rugby clubs etc). They're organised rides, so if you can't make the date it's on, tough. As for temperatures, we're in a temperate climate, but being on an isthmus, it's damn humid - the other day was 25C (77F) but felt more like 35C. Then again, we don't get snow either, so it's definitely riding year round. Michelle [/QUOTE]
