I'm off to Rotorua today for another weekend of mountain biking. I can't freakin wait.

Also, anyone know of potential IT roles? I may be out on my ass soon, and will be looking for work. I'm pretty decent at Linux and networking. Probably 'advanced' level but after so many years (almost 2 decades) doing this, I am continually reminded on how much I still don't know. The more you know, the more you don't know.

The tracks in Taupo have just opened back up after months of closure since the cyclone.

Enjoy the tracks in Rotorua.

Gotta try those this summer! Whats the loop around the lake like? Gravel and flat?

I spend most time in the craters mountain bike park.

I have ridden the cycle path near town with the kids, it is wide and paved.

See: Great lake trails; and Bike Taupo for some good tracks. I have done a lot of these over the years, W2K and K2k are nice medium level rides. There is a lot of riding in craters, at various levels....I'll be going this weekend with the kids.

Not really gravel or flat, a lot of pumice and a little mud, some decent climbs on W2K and K2K, but once on the top is flows from up to down nicely.
