Hi,

Jus joined up today.
Has anyone on this forum done the Karapoti Classic? I'm planning to do this next year as my first big event. A little nervous as I'm currently unfit and don't yet even own a bike.

I have borrowed an old Giant hardtail and am hitting the trails at the moment . I am also raising some funds [ see signature below] and am tossing up between a GT idrive and a Jamis Dakota. Any thoughts on either of these?

I like the iDrive, but have heard nothing but rave reviews for the Jamis. Try to test both if you can.

I am the champion of crashing. I still have yet to learn how to ride the trails, but crashing? I have that mastered.
