Just got back from my first proper ride on the new Cube, shot over to Thorndon as only 15 mins from me and had an 8 mile jolly up.

started off going around the cycle circuit thats about 6 miles of mixed wood grass and trail then shot back into the wood off the beaten track and has some fun, theres some proper fast down hill runs in there and so just went for it lol, hbit some muddy rutts a few times but managed to keep the bike up, i guess some of my past MX days helped me there. Got the bike muddy along with most of me lol...

conditions over there were good and mostly dry but there is some muddy rutts here and there which added to the fun and learning curve as most of them just appeared without much warning so was a case of just gun it through them

i really really REALLY enjoyed myself and its a great cardio workout at the same time. happy days

clean bike, not the best quality pics as with my iphone 3

Good stuff mate, looks like a proper bike now its dirty!!

I went to Thorndon for the first time a few weeks ago and just aimlessly rode around lost!

A compass defo comes in handy, I tool a Reading with my iphone compass app, 190deg south was were the van was parked incase I got lost lol. think I'm gonna get a wrist compass, got to be worth having
