    Thumbs up Enjoyable

    Its about 30mins north of chch.
    Was a nice day for it. Rolling hills with a mixture of farm tracks. Was pretty dry and dusty made life tuff if following a quad... Loop was short if you didnt opt for some of the endro's..We managed to get 3 loops in before lunch then 3 after and got back in time to watch the All Blacks and the U20 warriors.
    No dickheads there (maybe they went on the south ride that was on at the same time), lots of family and the organizers seemed to be relaxed. From what we saw One person was injured onto top of the hill just after the water tank? But St Johns didnt look busy which cant be a bad thing..
    Overall our group enjoyed it and will be back next year..

    Balcairn ride

    Yip absolutely agree, was a good day, dusty in places but all good, enduro loops were fun, neat fun through the creeks and valleys, should have more of them.

    Excellent property to play on, would definitely go there again.

    Yes there was some fast stuff around rolling hills and gullys, farm tracks and along fence lines, mostly dry riding but a couple of good boggy bits. The enduro loops were good for green Kawasaki riders, if you fell off in the bushes no one saw you

    All crap aside was a very good ride, I think the main loop was around 22km and a total of 6 enduro loops
