Hi everyone -
A great couple of weeks for us with the events we ran going really well and no injuries - fantastic.
The Trail Ride This Sunday 29th July is in Woodhill forest with entry through Murawai - signposted from SH 16 at Waimauku. Great all weather venue with kids tracks, adults tracks and all in between. Test bikes with Botany Honda, lolly scramble, sausage sizzle, spot prizes and the Coffee Man will be there too. Sign on and riding starts from 9 am

[T-Thunder13]

really??? fark! how do you ride illegally? around the familly zone or somthing. i know arc says stay off the dunes and shit

[cheese]

The beach is a road i the eyes of the law.

Wellyman don't like woodhill cause that tree stump bit him.

Don't have a problem with riding on the beach, after all, its a road (you know wof, rego and the like). Your concern if you get a ticket, if the cops can catch you.. In fact I think we all have the odd blast up there for the go fast factor. Then it gets boring.

Only thing is that when people get bored they tend to look for other options, like riding up the sand dunes or in the forestry, Now this does cause a problem. Number of trespass notices is apparently up to 40.

[telliman]

i'v never been a big fan of woodhill in the past, but had a sick ride up there last sunday,by late afternoon the sand had packed down quite nice,real fast trails now with a good mix of up and downs! no more arm pump!!!

[dammad1]

I wont be there, engines going in for a full rebuild top and bottom on Saturday, so i'll just have to dream about riding for the next couple of weeks. Damn it!

[Danger]

Bring back the whoops. I like the whoops. The only exercise I get is on the whoops. Anyone can go fast on a flat track. Each to their own. :bye:

Yep, the beach is a road and is subject to all the relevant rules. I think it is also a 50km/h limit. From what we have heard, the police are more interested in the cocks that think it's clever to ride at full chat past families, horses, dogs, fishermen etc. Be sensible and a ticket is less likely even with no WOF, rego etc but you never know on the day.

40 is a start I suppose. Might start to have an impact when it hits 400...

Yup soo true a bit off common sense goes a long way,Having lived in a beach community for awhile and knowing the local police thats all they have ever said to me ive never had a problem

I agree with you to a point Danger, I think that they should have left a few sections of whoops just to make it interesting, when you get your skills right the whoops are not that bad.

there are sections of track where the whoops remain for those they like it............

[cheese]

They will whoop up again in no time. I went out the back of the big dipper and there is some really good tracks up there.

Sorry Cheese....we graded those out during the week... oops

Na, just kidding. The only tracks we would like to keep graded every week are the main access tracks. MX track when finished will have whoops, as expected. Also as Cheese said try the far tracks along the eastern fence back to the convict. There are new tracks in there but we haven't marked out yet.

[charles23]

the tracks along the back after the big dipper are great, my fav is the convict track

is there any chance you will set up a dedicated pee wee track? the big kids in the kids area can be a bit frightening for the pee wees and make for some pretty nervous parents.

nothing to do with ability dude,but you dont want to be punished all day, need to have SOME fun, and the state they were in deffinatly wasnt that.you worried cheese gona catch up?

[T-Thunder13]

yeah the whoops were the best form of training i ever had.
infact i dont know any other kind of track. im keen to check out the new tracks sounds like a few of you guys are enjoying them.

[Rupe]

Went up sat in the end. The tracks are getting fast and fun now, still the odd whoop tho. Found some new or maybe forgoten tracks that were really good.

I like it up there but then I'm new to this, altough are they going to do a season ticket soon???? Ktmboy?????

[Ktmboy]

Season pass is looking very likely. Especially for the guys that ride 2-3 times a week up there.

Pee Wee track is going to be fenced off and pee wees only. No exceptions.

[Danger]

Good news, I want to ride during the week please, preferably on Thursdays.

[quackquack]

Is it going to be 365 days or just one weekday and the weekends

[Ktmboy]

Wed, Sat and Sunday until we find the right person to work on Thursday and Friday. Up till 7.00pm during daylight saving, again dependant on getting the right part time staff.
Monday and Tuesday will be keep free for WRP (Whoop Removal Program) and STD......? (Sponsors Track Days).

[cheese]

Mint!! you guys really are doing a good job!!

Maybe I should quit my day job and work up there on Thursdays..... LOL sure the wife would love that idea!! HAHAHA

[quackquack]

Hope no STD's on the weekend cause I planning to go up and my wife would not appreciate an STD
