Riverhead or sandpit?

[99CR250]

Hi, I've not ridden for a few years and my first opportunity is this Sunday. I used to ride sandpit a lot and love it up there. I see riverhead have some event on Sunday, & that it may be last one of the season. I've never been to riverhead.
Is it a race/ competitive ?
Any comment which might be best for me for this Sunday.
sandpit ten bucks cheaper, whatever.
Thanks

Riverhead ride is just a trail ride.
The sandpit will be a bit soft and wallowy at the moment, not much rain.
The riverhead rides tend to be rather technical , wheras the sandpit has much greater variety of tracks.
So if you haven't ridden for a while and not yet used to the bike, maybe the sandpit would be a better choice, soft landings are much more forgiving than hard clay.

Try riverhead...It's not the usual "riverhead" ride, it's a family trail ride so there is a variety of terrain available and as it's been as dry an arabs arse up there the usual mud and slush fest won't occur.

If your not sure of the level of skill needed then how about Mr Motorcycles ride at Naike, that is a guaranteed family friendly ride and really good fun if your just starting back.

The Sandpit is good but when it's this dry you need to maintain some speed to enjoy it, maybe not the most restful way of getting back into off road...

You better get that marketing campaign going there tony, there heading to riverhead.

No, its not about the income or lack of it. Thats never been what we are about. Its getting peeps on bikes and enjoying it.
Riverhead and Waitemata MCC are firends ( I know you are lookin Billaroo) I just think now we have had some rain that Woodhill would suit better in this situation.
As far as marketing goes. Looky here.
We had a recce for the Jolly Roosta Trail ride on May 2nd. Boy do we have a track and a half for you. Stay tuned and bring your camera .

good stuff was mint last year, you going to have the farm land bit in it?

The Jolly roosta would be great for all levels......as for sandpit or riverhead, I'd probably go for sandpit for a first ride in a while, safe, fun, and forgiving. Having said that riverhead is good too!!

[Reckless]

I'm goin to Riverhead, my son and my riding buddy as well!

But as far as 99cr250 is concerned there is the Mr moto ride at Naike on as well, that might be a good farm ride for you mate??
