More Maori greed at Woodhill bike park

[unstuck]

or lose one of the best riding areas in nz.

Not been many other places then?

[Reckless]

Just to clear it up for you champ. $35.

It's $30 bucks plus the $2 fee, Same cost at Thunder but every 6th ride free and Girls ride free (as long as they havent changed it from a year ago??)

So how does that work for people with yearly membership?

I guess you'll have to have the $2 every time you go out.

Not been many other places then?

In winter its about the only place to go in Auckland and Tony keeps the place in very good order, its a great park.
If girls rode free we'd go more often but we head to thunder as its same distance from here to both and the $30 we save covers most of the gas in the car.

Guess i'll just drive to the end of the road then ride down.

Wonder how long before they stop the public using Rimmers Rd to access the beach?

We used to go to the dome forest a lot, but when they started closing that down it was time to move. The hardest decision we have now when going off road, is where to go, so many FREE choices.

How many legal ones?

Most of the ones we do are legal. Only 2 places we ride we are not supposed to, but the forest owners seem to be reasonable about those.

$2 I wouldn't complain Im living in Connecticut USA there are buger all places to ride , bout the only places ive found are proper tracks not free riding all over a forest with miles and miles of track for around the same cost as woodhill thats $30 usd tho. All that being said I although ive bought a few bikes while being here for the last 1 1/2 years but ive only fixed them up and sold them as my insurance won't cover the cost of anything I break or damage neighbor did his collar bone cost with out insurance $40,000.00 +. So a couple of extra bucks to ride back home is nothing considering you also have acc to cover you as well id call it bloody cheap. Stop yah moaning it's the one thing that is cheap in NZ.

If he is then how are they charging a fee to use the road, the road is not there to get to the sand pit its for the owners to get to there. If they can cancel the lease then that implies the owners can charge a fee to use the road.

Presumably the relevant people got someone competent to draft, then review the lease. because you know, lawyers.

Holy shit! What merlot are you drinking?

Shortly I'll set sail into a shiraz from Gundegai of all places. It wasn't cheap, but it certainly wasn't $70. I can get Veuve Clicquot for that.

Meanwhile back on topic...

Yea, friend of mine got a ride on one of these after a mishap, the bill was 60K for the flight. My last stay in a US hospital (3 weeks) was over 700K (after the insurers rate & discounts were applied).

[TLDV8]

I enjoyed many great rides at Woodhill from the 1980's on, a good deal of them Waitemata club events.
Not sure of the policies now but one thought does come to mind, perhaps you don't really appreciate things until they are gone.

35 bucks for a days worth of fanging around on a 2 stroke , well worth it
