Hey guys,
Newbie to the forum and i to am keen to get out for a ride as i have'nt had a bike in a few yrs and thought it was about time i did.

Im in Upper Hutt and got a permit to ride Karapoti, but im keen to ride almost anywhere in well just have to find a way to get the bike there as have'nt quite got to the trailer stage yet.

If anyone is keen to get out for a spin im keen, i use to ride all the firebrakes over the hutt and wainui a few yrs ago and another great ride was around the cost at the end of wainui round to ocean beach, but now in upper hutt so its a bit further to go thses days.

Anyway just wanted to say Hi all and say if any 1 wants to go for a ride sometime i would be keen to, extreamly laid back and easy going

Feel free to PM or Email

Hey rocket,

I would be very interested to see a way from Wainui to Ocean beach. I go to Ocean beach a bit to ride but usually have to go via featherston - takes a lot longer than I would like. I have done some investigation out there but I thought it was all private roads.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the reply,
As far as Ocean beach goes, i use to take a trailer to the end of the wainui coast rd then ride down the beach to the mouth of the river, cross the river giving it heaps cause dont wanna stall in there lol and u can then ride all the way round, is a real nice ride actually.

I will have my bike all ready to go on monday so keen to get out anytime as i work from home, so my boss (me lol) says sure go for it take all the time u want haha.

Just let me know when you guys are free to get out for a ride and i will be keen almost anytime.

Have a good 1

Seems i dont have enough posts to be able to PM so u guys will have to pm or email me when your free for a ride, happy to give cell number

Yea man im keen, Dam was good weather this Sunday but no one to ride with dam it! ( Mates that are broken or there bikes are lol ) Keen to know more about this wainui coast road ride. Also easy going and keen to muk around...

OK lads, i am trying to get some free time for a half day or so's riding this weekend, so i will keep in touch. my bike not sold yet, so out it comes. ha haaa

I do have to admit is has been a few years since i did the wainui ride, but wasnt to hard to get round past the farm houses at the end of the coast rd after u get through the river, or lift ya bike up over the stye in the fence, is lucky have a 125 nice and light lol, my 250 was way to heavy and scared the crap out of me, had a sticker on it saying need big nuts to ride this bike so mine must be the size of rice lmao.Im much more comfortable with my 125 as i use to have 1 and they still go like stink and nice and light, so can crack the throttle wide open on this 1 without having to wear nappies lol

Hopefully my bike is all sorted today so im keen for a ride, shame the weather so shit today after a ripper sunday.

Feel free to email me or PM me guys if ya keen on a ride i can go pretty much any time.

Even better than having to lift your bike over the fence is going thru the front gate. The Orongorongo station allows motorbike access, cost is $20 per bike. The adventure bikes go thru several times each year. You do have to ring and organise a date so there are no clashes with mountain bike & horse events. There is the coastal track, a great hill loop and up the river. PM Paladin for the contact details.

where's Orongorongo Andy mac? i heard that the Wainui access had been stopped by the farmer who owns the land at the wainui end. There's a pretty serious "fuck off" sign on their gate if you have a look.

I've ridden round from Lake ferry when the tide is out and that's a bit of fun... gravel roads (around ocean beach) and heaps of sand, a couple rivers. But when we got to the Farm that starts in wainui there is a monster sized rock fence. looks like someone has put a lot of effort in to keeping people out

**andy mac** · 30th November 2009, 21:17

Orongorongo is the river/farm at the Wainui end. Yes they get very pissed off with trespassers & will give chase on CR250s. But access can be organised.
There's a thread/photos about a ride thru at Easter. http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...t=96275&page=6

any1 up for a ride?

**Blagger** · 29th December 2009, 00:01

Don't know if our timing would suit cos we go Karapoti/Maungatukutuku during the week early so we don't meet too many others.
Heard some bikes down the Hutt river today but that might get a bit boring

I'm keener on checking out Tangimoana - many of you guys been there?
