Nice one John. We were heading up north fri morn and went past loads of mx bikes heading that way. Wondered where they were going.

This was my first time on this trail ride. It had grassy farmland paths, native bush clay areas, a rocky bit, 3 or 4 stream crossings, some fairly steep ups and downs and spectacular sea views over the Poor Knight Islands and The Pinnacles. Enough of a challenge for me (without doing the well marked "Hard" and "Expert" bits).
The light rain in the early morning cut the dust perfectly.
The track was dry and I even managed a couple of loops without falling off!
The $35 fee included a great steak and onion sandwich (or bangers) and a cold drink.
I've already decided that I'll make the trip again next year.
A few photos from the trail and a few of Wananaki on the way home.
