Botany MX track?

[notme]

Stancombe Road - there seems to be a bit of a track there....anyone here know anything about it?

I ride past it all the time so was just idly wondering if I should stop and say hi to any KB'ers....cos god forbid I stop and talk to some NON KB'ers! (p/t)

i too have noticed on more than one ocassion that there have been plenty of riders out there, quite a large area to ride in, the area they are riding on is part of the new Barry Curtis park that the Manukau City Council are establishing,they have completed the earthworks there yet as the ARC don't allow earthworks over the winter months, earthworks there are due to commence October again so it's likely tobe a no go area soon

I knew there would be a reason......so make the most of it while you can i suppose!

I always get a friendly wave when i go past.....might be something to do with that particular road and the kneedown right hander just past the track....

Yeah the other day i saw a van that had a bike in the back and had a trailor with more bikes parked up along there. It looks like a bit of fun. Are you legally allowed to ride there? I'd been keen as to have a blat through there!

Cool - I'm planning to explore that way a little soon. I's using Google local to check for open spaces near Howick and drove by the temple the other day on Stancombe rd and the area looks to have easy access and tracks leading off the road nearby so bikes have been about.

May be an ideal spot for the kids or the road legal trailbiker

Well I don't know about the legality but if anyone wants to go for a look saturdays and/or sundays - just make sure to wave to the yellow CBR that goes past every day

I was out there today, granson wanted to get out for a ride, so chucked his little KTM in the back of the Pajero. didn,t feel like driving out to woodhill forest, so gave that place a try. good for anyone who is leaning, may go back tomorrow,

Hey I made that Map!! Glad to see others using it!!

the onehunga track is alot of fun. It's quite tight and tricky, but good fun. if it's been raining it's shit though. but it's been pretty dry lately, so it should be fine. Hopefully they will be doing some extensions soon as the summer brings more riders in and stuff.

[IronicCapers]

Sweet as its lik 30secs down da road from where i work

[telliman]

dude, even if it was ten seconds down the road, iwouldnt waist my time down there! potential though, no doubt!

[IronicCapers]

i aint even been. Always worth a look. If you got a problem go tell ya mum. Or offer me another MX track other than ardmore or another trail place other than woodhill as depending which house im at are only 15-25mins away from me. Salaweet

In all honesty I think that the track is ok, It does need some work, but to get the money to do that they need people to go ride there. kind of like how fat bastard put it, I eat cause I'm fat adn I'm fat cause I eat......

Good fun to dick around there. Only $20 and they do groom it every so often.
