You will be riding one of the Norf Crews favourite roads Russell Rd. Ya can fuel before ya turn off SH1, Oakura Bay (which is close by but limited hours) and in Russell.

Nearest beach is just over the hill, lots of lovely bays to stop at en route. Good coffee & view at the Helena bay cafe / gallery. Grab your fuel & anything else you need before turning on to the Old Russell Road. I'm taking my girlfriend to the farm next Monday for a wee lesson & her first time on a bike. Hoping to have a blast myself, been years since I rode a dirt bike. I'm looking forward to it, heard lot's of good things & it is more or less local for me.

I concur,once you start riding around the trails,you won't want to do anything else,except maybe drink cold beer when your not riding.............

Good fishing off the rocks & good surf at Elliots bay, a bit further north from the farm. The colonial & historic delights of romantic Russell, a day learning the Old Russell road on a supermotard. Picking mushrooms in the morning.
