if you have never been to mercer it is located on SH1 just north of the Mercer Service Centre, access is though the back of the service centre, it is a sand track that is fairly flat with only one small jump, good riding wet or dry,

Doesn't sound like much fun, does it? Mercer is just south of the Bombay hills.
Woodhill trailride tomorrow, Sunday an ISDE teams fundraiser by WMCC. Last weekend was a blast, heaps of people there but the trail was not crowded due to the length of the trails. Would have been 3-4 x the vehicles on the side of the road compared to Greg Powers last Saturday trailride in Woodhill. I don't care what Greg says, Sundays seem to be more popular for most trailriders.

We use the Mercer track for our mid winter trial....so I've had a few fangs around the track.It's sand and pumice,so still ridable in the wet,certainly not the traction you'll get on clay,but consistant and choice for slides.Dunno about jumps,you wouldn't get me near one of those.

Might be the one for the ole mans practice ..I mean 64 years old , last seen a bike 15 years ago ,,a 30 foot table might be a wee bit off putting

The jumps are fine Motu , I find the going up very easy , and the coming own bit is as easy as walking ....

I think that maybe Mercer might be the ticket for the ole man, then if his heart dont give out, we can ring up Kimmys .....:nya:
