Anywhere for trail / offroad riding around Kai Iwi Lakes?

[JoshCragg]

Hi evey one,

Im fresh into the word of riding, and KiwiBiker.

Ill be heading away camping this long weekend around Kai Iwi Lakes, west of Dargaville. - http://www.communities.co.nz/kaiiwilakes/index.cfm

I was wondering if any one knew of any good riding spots around there? needs to be offroad and not to challenging as this will only 3-4 time ever riding.

Any help/ spots would be a real help

Also does any one know of cheap trailer hire places? 3 days hire is kinda expensive at most places.

thanks all.

Yep - on the beach. The best access at the moment is at Omarma about which is a left turn about 4 km before the lakes. Good on a trail bike 4 hours each side of low tide. Best for a novice about 3 hours each side.

Check out NZKTMs thread.

The beach looks like this with various paturoa spawn on their steeds ('cept the dog of course)
