Thanks to Ken for organising the NZ uni weekend. I had a great time and
I'm sure everyone else did too. Man, Wellington is blessed with some
incredibly good MUni tracks and excellent trials terrain, too! ...very
jealous! (track envy from an Aucklander)

Yep, that track that Rowan and I did was indeed called Vertigo and was
flat-out fanatastic. One of the best tracks I've ever ridden. Really
steep and technical - rutted sections, rocky bits 'n' all. Good terrain
for a 3" Gazz and a brake. It was the kind of trail that would have
challenged me even when I rode mountain bike, so it was good to be able
to ride 95% of it on one wheel. Rowan rode almost as much of Vertigo as
I did, which was impressive considering he had no brake and short cranks
(145mm). There was a very cool section of this track where it crossed
over a bridge, turned sharply 270 degrees and looped down very steeply
under the bridge. The diameter of this loop was no more than 1.5m -
pretty tight! I had to ride this section twice it was so cool! Now I've
had a taste for the hardcore steep Wellingtron singletrack I gotta
hankerin' for that Deliverance track...

Can't wait for the next NZ Uni weekend!

Thanks again Ken and all the riders who turned up.
Tony
