Waingaro Forks on the Kill Devil track had our To-Do list for some time, but the thought of carrying overnight gear up the Kill Devil was a bit off-putting. So when Rob Kay suggested we do it in and out in one day we said "You're on."
Saturday the weather looked great so we were up at sparrow's fart and riding soon after 7.30am to miss the heat going up the hill. Knowing we had a long day ahead Liz and I took it easy going up the zig-zags walking a lot of bits we'd normally ride whilst Rob and Hamish preferred riding. An hour and 45 minutes saw us at the top of the main climb after re-joining Hamish's chain for the first time. Too much power these young guys. He'd snapped another chain a few days before at Kaiteriteri and broke his chain a second time later on this ride; three times in a week, can anyone beat that? After the second disconnection Hamish decided to adopt a lower geared technique, which paid off.
