The Sandpit is open.

Wtawta track has been closed for ages.
The Karamu twilight rides are all good if its not wet. The Tokoroa track and Mangakino track are both good and you can pay for keys anytime. Mercer is not to far either for practice/race days.
Best track around is NKCMCC in Te Kuiti, they have plenty of practice/race days. Huntly and Cambridge MX has just finished for the winter season so hit them next year.
Plenty of trail rides coming up around the Waikato over summer.
Have to agree about moving to Hamhole though.. hope you like fog.

Whatawhata closed, Kimmy's closed, Thundercross too wet to ride, no trail rides this weekend.

Looks like I have to wait till the Desert storm.

Kimmys was great. Shame it went bad for them. yeah Thundercross will be nasty at the moment. Give it a month or so.

Will just be trail rides at the moment.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I ended up going to to Mangakino. The track was awesome, my skills and fitness not so much.

Looking forward to the trail rides!

Strangely, I do like fog

Kimmys has new owners again, i would guess they will be opening back up in summer, it would be nasty around there at the moment as well,

Raglan and Mr Mc trail rides start soon,

So any chance of it opening again as a bike park or is going to be turned into a gorse farm. What's up with flight path they were all go now ya don't here anything? Sounded like would be a wicked place if it opened.
