looks like it will be in the same area, the tracks around there are great, but some rain would be needed i think to make it worthwhile. if it has a days rain between now and then i will be going. the expert tracks are fun but no where near as technical as riding in riverhead!!

Your love it cheese, alot better then the trails at the bike part.
As they are not ridden every weekend.
Should still have alot of grass cover over the sand.
And a trial that you haven't been on before is always better then one that you can use every week. Even if it is cut up a bit.
Im not going to this ride as i'll most likely have to be "pit bitch for Gr8bums"
and "ArsoslowWC" at rodey club day

.
can't ride as instead of "thrashing" my 600 around the track i ended "trashing" it in stead

, and my wrist is paying for my big balls stupidity

a pretty good area to ride, when you can get access to it,
you will enjoy it more than the bike park.

I can only think of one area only one area better in the forest,
and thats the lake block

just north of the exsisting bike park, it used to be sub leased by a maori trust, not sure who controls it now, if you ever get the chance to ride there grab it with both hands..
Bugger all sand, heaps of natural jumps, lake, cover ,forest shade
great spot..

I'd like to see an area like that better set up. I think that a bit of a day with a digger riverhead coulld have a really fun track.

yep fully agree, still one of my fav places to ride

riverhead has huge potential, but I don't think it will ever happen,

for reasons alreday discussed.

dude, yeah mystical is a good description of the maori block,

its not part of the bike park, its about two blocks north of the eastern boundry of the bike park, you travel north up the center forestry road, you know where the double gates are ... as I said it used to be under the control of a maori trust, not sure if its been logged out yet or not, it was the best part of the whole forest, Greg ran some one off events there a couple of years ago, we would spend a day marking it out, a day test riding it , then run the event the following day..

I will make some enquires tonight and see if it is ever still available, will drop you a pm if I find anything positive..

Doesn't sound like a bad day. I'll see if I can get my suspenders back in in time. Also mothers day so "her indoors" may have to be consulted.

**cheese** · 8th May 2007, 18:57

God I'm in troubel for staying out all day on my biek on sunday as it is!!

**Reckless** · 8th May 2007, 20:22

mmmmmmmmmm I wonder if mine would like a nice "MOTHERS DAY" at a FAMILY Trail ride day at Woodhill".

Don't like my chances

Actually if it wasn't Mothers day and we are supposed to give up all activity unless devoted to her, she might go for it. See if I can get up enough courage to broach the subject aye!!

mmmmmmmm I have a plan Hatching

Get up early, Make her breakfast in bed

Woodhill (her too), flowers, cook tea.

How much does it cost. Couldn't find anything on Power adventures site. CR125, CR250, KX85cc. I riden by the wife if my plan works
