Waikato ADV rides!

[Shewolf]

I'm going Muriwai next weekend - low tide is midday-ish leaving time for latte's and pancakes first. What....that's proper adventure riding food

PS, can do one in the future when tide is a bit later for you South Bombayers

Weather is looking very crap all week.Too much rain fallen already to make thompsons a good choice for this weekend.
I am Keen on exploring some of the side tracks off the main track on the way to the top from the Te Aroha side but would not get very far at this time of year.

I will pass this weekend, and maybe have a crack at thompsons again later in the year

no what ya mean bro ive looked at the side tracks by myself in the dry and turned around,never mind in the wet - the main track will be a mud fest in the current climate.
actually its looking very crappy for sunday http://metvuw.com/forecast/forecast1...on=nzni&tim=90 all fun in the mud its the ride home soaked and raining that will suck
MMMmmmmmm me having second thoughts now

I'm a bit of a Murawai addict and could do two weeks in a row easy, May take 4WD this sat if no takers as can have heater on and windscreen wipers for sea spray ETC, (and can also nearly do beach at full tide on way home though it takes longer and lots of fuel)

Let's say I ride up the beach from Muriwai at low tide, and get (50 km or so?), are there any tracks from the beach back up to the road? I'm thinking of having a poke around there one day of the week when I don't have any work on.

Alternatively, if I ride up to South Head, is there a road to the beach so I can ride down to Muriwai on the sand?

There are 3 main exit/entrances to Muriwai, at the beginning from the Golf course entrance (Coast rd) , about 25ks further up, Rimmers road (has a a 60kph speed limit each side of the track) and about 15k after that Wilsons Rd (not marked but usually clear as debri and vehicle tracks leading up a reasonable incline at the entrance)




I wouldnt advise that you try Wilsons Rd on your own particurally with your tires and even Rimmers would be touch and go to get out off (both of these tracks are easier to get on to the beach from than off as are steaper on the way out)



My mobile is on my profile so you can always give me a ring and check if I am free as would not advise you go it alone unless just going up beach from Golf course and returning the same way (unless you had more agressive tires)

I'm keen now on some Waikato adventure type riding.. New (to me) Transalp is going well, has a half good Anakee 2 on the front and a worn (low in the middle) Michelin Sirac on the back, I grew up riding gravel & dirt, so its not new to me at all... just been awhile.

Maybe not the beach but count me in on the next gravel tour of the Waikato.
