That's good to hear, I toyed with the idea a few months back and now thanks to spikedpunch reminding me with her comment I've sent off an email to the farm (mike) to see what space they have over Jan. Sounds an awesome place for the kids, plenty of stuff to do.

What track are you mentioning wednesday night?

We've got a track over here ( near Keri ) we ride Wed, Broxy reckoned you could rip it & do an AMA, which is a bit of an exaggeration, there's a few photo's here http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...&postcount=160, it's 1.8km & hard pack clay, looking into rotary hoeing sawdust in there to try & open a few more lines up & a sawdust pit ala Taupo, it's nice & wide, but because of the clay tends to be a bit one lined.
If you go to Mike's drop me a PM & I'll give you directions, there's a few tracks around here actually ( 4 I know of, 3 private mx & one evil root infested enduro loop that would make chop cry with joy ).

The mx one yeah, wed night they are there 1/3 of the time & use it for training.
The enduro one

, not yet, it's kinda newish, though it's not a grovel as such as it's easily passable, just bloody tough to get any speed on( for me anyway ), parts are just a maze of roots & the less said about the wooden bridge when wet the better, we're going to start regular rides to practise for Riverhead/Woodhill/Taupo.
The grovel's I've been on tend to be Sunday rides on one of three properties this side of the island or Mikes place once ( the most evil grove I reckon was at his place, he has some real nasty stuff hidden away ).
