I hope I never ride another trail like that again, and I loved every minute of it.

Hmmm... this sentiment reminds me fondly of the only time I rode the full Kokopelli Trail. Well, minus Porc Rim since the weather was shit at the end.

Oh, we sessioned a lot of 'session' beers that trip didn't we? Such a fun trip, such an unremarkable trail. So glad @johnbryanpeters put that together though...

The beer at mile 30 in the sixty mile stretch was, in retrospect, not exactly a good idea...

I liked the Kokopelli - would really like to try to solo it sometime.

My sentiment is the main reason I won't go ride White Rim...

Just like it's spelled. Which is not the case with Whakarewarewa.

It's pronounced the same as in Japanese, as far as I can tell.

‘Wh’ is Fff. You normally break up a word after a vowel too, so for example ‘Makara’ is often pronounced by non-locals basically as ‘Mak-rer’ but should be pronounced ‘Mac-Kar-Raa’.

Also Taupo, as in Lake Taupo, is often pronounced ‘tau-po’ but should be ‘Toe-paw’. I can’t claim to be any type of expert though.

 

[Changleen]

how do you pronounce this?

‘Ay-Oh-Tea-A-Rhow-Ha’.

 

[Toshi]

‘Ay-Oh-Tea-A-Rhow-Ha’.

it's "tea" in there, not "teh ah"?

Yeah, that’s valid. Somewhere in the middle I guess, maybe your is better.

 

[Changleen]

Not ‘tay’ though, that’s too far.
