I'm there, especially considering we went up for the Pohangina Valley Trail ride and got all the way to Ashurst only to find it was cancelled. 4hrs driving, $100 gas and nothing to show for it.

Ride this weekend sounds good

Apparently it was too wet, so then we tried Taikorea and that was closed due to being fire season (go figure that aye). IMO they should make the call the day before as I can check but pretty sure there wasn't torrential rain there. I don't really know where Tangimoana is really or where to go when you get there.

It's at the end of tangimoana beach rd. So you basically turn off SH1 and keep turning left until you get to a big sand drift that covers the road. Park here and ride the rest of the way. Ride over the sand dune and almost down to the beach. You'll see a track that runs parallel to the beach, follow this into the dunes and then into the forest. The pine forest runs from Tangimoana to Himatangi. There's heaps of trails in there and some good sandy hill climbs. you'll love it.


As you can see. The turn off is very near Taikorea

Not always possible to make a call the day before, it depends when the rain happens!

CanTeen have arranged some awesome spot prizes - t-shirts, caps, water bottle, hoodies, jackets etc.

There will be a coffee cart onsite, but please bring cash for this as the mobile eftpos machine may not get reception.

Looking forward to a great day!
