Heading north, couple of days at Kai Iwi Lakes with the boats and then up to The Farm at Russell for 1000acres of trails, MX track and FMX ramp. O the variety!

Absolutely nothing. Nothing is happening. I think you should just stay home.

Pretty much. Last ride I went there my clutch died which was no fun, would be cool to go back some time with a working bike. There's a fair bit of roady stuff to get to the actual trails iirc, but it's not a huge deal.

Nah it was from the previous owner putting on folding levers that didn't fit right on the bracket, burned through 2 clutches before we figured that was the problem, put on some cheap other ones and never had a problem after that. Never been to riverhead, I didn't get to do much of maramarua cause of the dead clutch, krads brother liked it/made it through and he's a noob and was on the old lump. There's some cool scenery out there, would like to go again some time.
Don't know how fun it'd be in the wet tho, It was a bit damp when we were there and that was enough to clog up your tyres on uphills.
