Wasted the fuel cost getting there though

Nobody can control the weather and a good thaw set in by 11-11.30, in most parts

More of a challenge

I wonder if you would have been impressed if the C of C decided he coundnt have been bothered the day before and you turned up to find no sections?

i know for a fact the C of C was there last night in the dark finishing
off setting out. one good thing about tong is that get a few bikes
through the sections and it sorts them out. no sign of ice when
i rode, went round for 16 on the harder route, and the ossa
on map 12 is AWESOME.

i always think in this country you need to be able to ride
in any conditions so i practice in all conditions.

Must be more Awesome than you thought you went round on 13!!!!!!!

Echo the thoughts. Over 100 riders is an awesome turnout and less than 10 failed to finish. Even if the course was icy to start with it does not stay around long at Tong. Don't be put off by the conditions and give it a try.

dont mention that one of my riding companions
isnt happy as he went round for 16 and was
pleased we had tied.......then came the results
and hes not a happy camper
