There is one about 9km from Okaihau next Sunday - some tricky expert pieces - we've spent a few weekends sorting out the tracks - no mud to be found cause so dry, but hoping a few turn up eh

Pic taken (3 yrs ago) from above the bay. Go for a swim after ride. Real nice part of the country.

That was a real great ride! Some fun expert bits, especially the up hill through the bush to the kauri trees.
Bit slippery after the rain on the long clay slight uphill through the trees.
