it should be a great ride, hope it dosn't rain between now and then though! riverhead gets bloody slippery in the wet.

Is there any entrance fees, and will this ride be alright for novice/intermediate riders?

**Danger** · 21st April 2007, 19:03

It will probably be $30.00 for WMMC members, $35.00 for others. With the good weather there will be a track that you can get around. Just don't go on the A loop options and start moving logs and things to make it easier for you. Some of us enjoy the challenge of the A loops before the B riders tackle them and start removing the obstacles. You will have fun, and get a free feed too.

How long do they usually make the loops? and is it all clay?

**Lion** · 21st April 2007, 20:24

are the trails at riverhead tight and technical?

**Henk** · 21st April 2007, 20:26

Loop will probably be between 25 and 35 Km depending on what options you take.
Clay, some loam maybe and gravel sections to join up the tracks.
