Sharland creek provides some good rides but my handlbars and plastics get a little tired of the rock base (as do the tyres). Are there other good rides within 30 mins that provide more of a mix of mud, bush and single track ??

Cheers,

Have you been to some of the Laid Back Trail Rides?

Yeah, missed this years Lake station but last years was great, the first time I've ridden anywhere other than Sharlands / Maitai and the first time I could go hard out without worrying about getting too damaged in a fall. We just need more.
Might have to try the Moutere/Tasman area but don't know the trails, hate to go the wrong way on an un-official one-way loop :shutup:

'84, off trademe, apart from riding it on to the ferry I havn't ridden it but it looks and sounds pretty sweet.
Nelson seems to have a decent VMX scene so I thought I would give it a blast.
