Jolly Roosta Trail Ride, Woodhill 26th April

**Ktmboy** · 14th April 2009, 16:58

OK guys and girls, On Sunday the 26th April is the annual Jolly Roosta (Jolly Poacher last year) trail ride half way to South Head.
This is a cool ride. Everything you get at other rides (do they have farm and forestry?) through out the central north island but at under half the price.

And its under 1 hours drive from 90% of Auckland.

We've got a whole heap of new terrain that has been pruned and marked over the last couple of weeks. Non of this "lets re arrow the old tracks" stuff here. You pay for a ride and we'll ensure you get fresh tracks everytime!!
I ran out of fuel on the quad on the weekend after 70km so will be selecting the best course of about 50-60km. Whats more there is minimum gravel road (maybe a couple of hundred metres) on the single track red course.

Sign on is from 8.00am

and the tracks close at 3.00pm. So in essence you can get the last loop in from 3.00pm and finish at 5.00pm.

Jeez, thats 9 hours riding time for 35 bucks. Beats paying the same price for 4 x 15mins motos. Value for money in anybodys book.

Yeah, I know,we've had this on www.silver-bullet.co.nz for a few months now. It was always going to be the last weekend of April.

I have the son that wants to ride at Kens as well. Thems the breaks. Blessed for riding choices ain't we?

Have you put many hillclimbs and good gnarly stuff to play on?

A smorgasboard!!
Most people will be OK on the single tracks. The yellow tracks are very user/quad friendly so access is no probelm. If you don't like the track, easy get off after a km or two and jump on another one. The reds always will have a go round option.

Yeah, I'm excited about this ride. There are some great sections. Unfortunately, the big climbs from last year have been felled but we have a very special place for you to play in. I'll take a pic later in the week. Be prepared.

Well, this will be who provides the masses with the best entertainment.
It may turn into the Hill climb comp on the day depending on the weather.

If its fine then we'll have the Hill climb. Its rather large.

If raining (remember Woodhill gets better with rain) then its the best entertainment on a couple of laps on the figure of 8.
