during the summer its usualy kimmys or thunder mainly because its too hot to do long trailrides, unless its a good trail like redwoods or the epic events. and during the winter i usualy do the taupo rides and sometimes atiamuri because the dirt drains realy well and its all weather rideable no hills etc...

With all the 4x4's if you're screaming around corners on some of these tracks then you have a death wish.

Well its good you don't go up there anymore cause I sure wouldn't want to be riding the other way when you come screaming around a corner. Accidents don't need to happen if a bit of common sense is used and we can all enjoy the trails. A few accidents involving idiot dirt bikers and other users and that will be another trail out of bounds for us.

We all have to use the trails mate and maybe a little more understanding might be good for you. The places to ride are getting less and less, beaches trails etc...
If we all have a little more consideration for others we might actually be able to ride more places....

fortunately we dont have that problem with our crew, as they ride so slow they are forever being overtaken.... by mountain bikes, and horses.

OK on a serious note... please be considerate to other users
