Otaki Gorge, Grundys, Thompsons, Manakau ridge run

[stormtrooper]

Anyone keen on a ride before or just after new year through Grundys and Tompson Track?
Not really for begainers and will be limited in numbers as i dont really want to take a big pack of bikes in.
There is some really fun off road riding in there and a bush lunch will be on the cards.
Start will be at Waikanae and up the otaki gauge road with an exit at north Manakau road, the ride will take the best part of the day.
For those interested could have a BBQ at the end of the ride in Waikanae and tenting space avaible for people that want to stay over and maybe do Odlins and pram track the next day.

I'd be quite keen to come along and meet some others. Have a couple of mates who might be keen too.
Did Odlins Road on the 27th a bit wet and a good challenge in places but fun.

Hey Joe, meeting point will be the coffee cart main road waikanae SH1
The grundys track is a bit tamer than odlins and the tompsons track gets tricky in places and turns to riding on rock half way up which is the hard part manly due to the bouncing around on the bike but it opens up at the top and there is a cracker lookout, comming down the other side is slow and steady then opens out to a milled pine forest with very easy riding down to the exit point at North Manaku road.

Nothing you cant handle Joe

[Fryin Finn]

I'll be sure to keep an eye on this thread Let us know date and time for meet. I have a road legal DR650 and my mates are on XT600's. One of them has confirmed his interest and I've yet to get in touch with the other. He hasnt ridden his XT off road yet but has done plenty of Enduro's etc.
