If you answered yes to both, then yes you can come.

The rock wall is at the start of the road right?. Next to the river by the park?.

Have a good time. BTW isn't teetotal a MTB track? Or is the MTB track on teetotal reserve? Either way the locals put a bit of time into that.

The Teetotal track was built by the NZ Army.
It's in the Teetotal recreation reserve.
Not sure if that's the MTB track or not but it's def. motorbike access.
Ian at Speargrass has been doing a bit of fighting to keep it open.

Man the mx track was rough. I had to stop as I couldn't hold on to the bars any more. Basically it was some grass covered whoops of all sizes bent around to form an mx track...

I been trying to think of anything we've done adv-wise that would equate but haven't so far.

maungatap was great today. i met upp with F cat at the rock wall (he knows where it is now) and we had a great hoon and inspected some side tracks as well. We went right over and went over that ford under the bridge where I got stuck in the river and we had to pull the klr out of the soft silt that it had sunk into. When we got it out we noticed that a rock had flicked my chain off. Put it back on and then we did some spirited riding back to the top of the Maungatap. Zumba ain't got nothing on trying to keep up to a 450exc on a klr over that terrain. Fcuk its rocky and it was very entertaining watching fluffycats sideways action. After recovery we tootled on down with a wee bit more of the spirited stuff.

Cheers Fluffy that was a good arvo ride,and we both managed to stay upright.

If you want that sort of coin round here, you gotta be self employed, with either a "garden" in the bush or one in the ceiling

Is it what. Shit the arse end of gonzo was all over the place going up there. What'd ya think of the jumps over the very nicely graded hill? I was looing at the river when I went over the bridge & wondering who would be first to try to get thru it. Did yo make it or have to go back? Was the pelorus bank undercut or really steep.

I had never seen that purple house before - they must have cut the trees backa lot.
