Sweet cheers man

just thought i'd add my 2 cents...

spots up north around whangarei

went out to mahuta gap last weekend, sweet place to ride massive sand dunes and random 4wd tracks and this time of the year it's a bit hard packed so heaps of traction and not too much real soft sand, kept me and a couple mates entertained for the day, pretty keen on heading back asap to do some more exploring of the 25 km's+ of beach and dunes. http://www.zoomin.co.nz/kaipara/mahuta/mahuta+gap+road/

"The Farm" is mega slippery this time of the year, so if you're keen on a mud bath go for it lol, otherwise wait till summer and make a weekend of it (camping/piss up) seriously good riding up there. https://www.facebook.com/bikeparkatthefarm?fref=ts

ruakaka beach

use google maps, look for ruakaka race course, there's a beach entrance down by the main entry, theres a few 4wd tracks and dunes to play around on, good for a quick half day mish.....or search for tip rd waipu, same sort of scenario just more to ride.

if anyone has any more info on spots to ride up here, i'd be keen to know, still pretty new to northland, cheers.

Anybody have any news on thundercross? Is it opening up soon? Did it get sold?

Good question, it was still fully functioning when I was there last, just before they closed for winter and James was still running it back then, so I assume it's not been sold.

They open at the beginning of September (their permit requires them to close over the winter months), so should be ok, but I'd just give them a quick call before heading down.

Is there anywhere close to albany on the north shore to go for a cheeky ride? Can I take it on the empty lands near the malls and stuff? Anyone had issues with cops?

I think you will find people will be offended if you ride around up there now. They hate to see people enjoying themselves, and it is a good idea not to be noisy in a city.

Tell me about it. I'm even having trailer logistic issues now trying to go get this bike. It'll be a pain when trying to sort bike transport for weekend rides. I think I will sell my car and get a ute.

Ute, van or trailer is the way to go when you have a dirty. Sux borrowing or hiring trailers. I can get 3 bikes on the back of my ute, and 4 on the trailer.

I bought a ute today. Pretty cheap too. Just over 2k for a nissan datsun single cab. Plenty of space for a dirt bike and I can use it for when I want to take my road bike to the track.

Found a ute a bit limited for space for when carting and locking gear up while away from it.....Had a Van with a towbar for big missions....Can leave everything in it when your fucked from riding when you get home and just want a beer.

You can just get a KDX200 into a Hiace or Bongo if you back it in and compress the forks down a bit with a tiedown to make the bars fit under the roof...

Hey all,

Does anyone have any updated spots for riding (mainly trail/enduro) around Auckland?
I live on the shore and ride most weekends at woodhill, are there any other spots close by?

Cheers!!!
