Trail of the Month: 'Out Of Office' in Rotorua, New Zealand
As balance, EVERYTHING else in this article is true, it's an amazing trail in an amazing forest, the trail builders are absolute legends. I'm lucky to call these trails my home trails, and I get too grumbly about them sometimes. Chur.

Trail of the Month: 'Out Of Office' in Rotorua, New Zealand
"Whakarewarewa Forest (good luck pronouncing that one)"
Disappointingly lazy writing from the author on this one. It can be a very awkward name to wrap your tongue around, but why not education over dismissal?
Whakarewarewa can be said like Fah-kah-reh-wah-reh-wah for those interested

Zerode Bikes Announces New World Cup Team with Sam Blenkinsop & Taylor Vernon
@LemonadeMoney: @LemonadeMoney: Rob did have a G2 with the front triangle lengthened to modern proportions (he's a very tall human anyway) and it had a I think something like a 6kw RC plane motor in place of the Alfine hub gearbox, ran the battery in a backpack, it was only single speed and not ideally geared, it was stupid fast and very cool, it didn't have any pedal integration, so he'd pretend to pedal going past anyone who would have had a cry about it not being a proper ebike!

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: What Pinkbike's Editors Actually Carry on Rides
It's really not hard to carry some first aid, mine has gotten at least one mate out of the woods who maybe wouldn't have, and patched up a fair few other mistakes. Saves a bad day from going to a terrible day reaaaaaal fast!
This one is good, and was specced with the input of some of NZs best first responders https://www.neutroncomponents.com/ultralight-first-aid-kit

Inside Ben is a very Wes Anderson shot..........I reckon Cathro is the type to do this on purpose for a giggle

I only have one issue with this video, no Reverend and the Makers soundtrack like he normally has!

because he (I assume) thinks it's hilarious.
I too think it's hilarious.
It's people racing bicycles, it shouldn't be serious, I way prefer it to some of the super dry commentary out there, I rate how much Cathro is just, well Cathro, a big lanky line choice nerd.

"I like this line, this is a cool one, makes me smile. I enjoyed riding it."
Such, such words of wisdom that so many weekend warrior racers should hear.
