    For those that dont know..... there is a map at the sandpit 1000x600 pretty sure there is one at the sign in shed, the other is in the middle of the carpark "the smoking area" theres 36 trails named and plenty more to come, there all colour coded from easy, enduro or Expert and really opens up the forest rather than following the same old trails.....
    Download the attached file below then open it, it will be much more readable.

    Ta, that's where I thought.

    Sometimes I wish I still lived in AKL, but not for the traffic that's for sure!

    The rollercoaster is not on that map I'm pretty sure I passed a sign saying it was the track name??

    You may be quite right, not every track has been named, adopt it , shape it, prune it and give it a name....call it RECKLESS...

    Don't give me any credit for any of the tracks they are not of my doing, although some tracks that AJ and I did start off by just free riding to link different parts are now established tracks, we did little other than just weave our way through the trees in the early days of the current regime and the Sandpit guys have done the work to open them to the masses and they have done a great job.
    I have a sponsorship deal with the Sandpit, that is why my stickers can be found in various parts. I preferred this option to having naming rights to a track and having large signs put up.


    Twice the displacement, twice the cost and a decibel problem, I'll pass on the inside brraaaap!!!
