Places to practice near Auckland?

**Rupe** · 20th January 2008, 17:42

Is there anywhere to ride near the Auckland area that would be good for just practicing general riding/technique? I'm finding most places that I ride a bit bland, and without any real challenges. It would be good to ride a place that has few more obstacles to negotiate rather than just race round.

Anyone know of anywhere that might be suitable?

Go to riverhead on Friday. Plenty of challenge there!

Maybe your right.

And maybe it's time to try that wires track. Are there any other places like the wires track???

That place is miles away isn't it. Try riverhead, that will challenge you plenty!!!

Try river head without sitting down, if you can stand for an entire lap, which you should be anyway.
Now that should make it a bit more trickyer.

I'm going to go to the riverhead ride this Friday, but it's not a place you ride when ever you want.

And to the guy who suggested woodhill, I like the place, but not in the summer.
