    In New Zealand that is....50km/30 miles of riding, about 30k/19 miles on
    singletrack, not bad for a first proper ride.

    Great writeup! Sounds fantastic, and borderline epic distance, as a
    bonus.

    Enjoy!

  2. Bah, it's terrible being stuck over here in winter. Why, just this
    morning I had the terrible hardship of going for a ride in the snow on
    Joe's normal local trails. It was so tough, leaving all those 'tyre
    tracks in totally fresh, undisturbed snow'
    (http://johnhimsworth.fotopic.net/c1192495.html). It'd be awful if,
    say, someone who liked riding in snow was missing out on winter.

    Now let's stop this before the argument escalates, and I lose.

    Never argue with an idiot; they drag you down to their level and then
    beat you with experience.

  3. Looking at those photos it would appear that you were riding a B*ke.

    Therefore Joe wins.

    I however rode to work on my uni in the snow this morning.

    So I beat both of you

  4. It is an interesting read for me as a uni beginner. I am just learning,
    but have years of long, epic mountain bike rides here in SW Colorado,
    arguably, the best single track in the world!

    One of the most enjoyable aspects of the uni is all the potential I see
    for fun, as I get a little better and more skilled each day. I know
    that a productive Uni-Moab ride is a couple of years away at least, but
    I know it is there.

    Err, maybe. But I'm fairly sure that only one wheel at a time had any
    grip, if that counts.
