atm, you can ride at most parts of the woodhill bike park durning the week for free, however if you break down in the middle of the park its a bloody long way to push the bike back to the carpark, you can also ride on the beach there for free, but try to stay off the dunes or the tree huggers will get you.

Weekend there is a small charge, but this allows you to ride the whole park, and you get a free recovery service, and first aid if you bump into a pine tree.

other than that I don't know of any other places to ride for free unless your keen on illegal rides. try joining a club there are a coulpe of good ones that most people who live on the shore and ride off road belong to.

Firefight.

A note on the last post
Riding on the beach is free as long as you don't get caught. The beach is a public road so strictly speaking you need a WOF rego and licence to ride there. The cops do get out and enforce it occasionaly.
Best bet, Join a club and go on organised rides or go to the bike park.

How do I join or find a club with people on the Shore? I really can't wait to get out on my bike...

I don't think there are any clubs that are based on the shore but in the auckland area there are two that I can think of. The Rodney club run mainly cross countrys and motocross, their website is www.rmcc.co.nz the Waitemata club run cross countrys, enduros and trail rides with the odd moto cross and trial thrown in the mix. Their website is www.waitematamcc.co.nz or you can go to the bike park in rimmers road pretty much whenever you like

If you want to ride a safe MX track try Ardmore they are open Sundays/Wednesdays, only $10 on Wed $15 Sun. Call answerphone for info 09 2680886 They have a big race day (Wildman, not good for beginners) once/month.

Other than Woodhill mid week there are no free places to ride legally so don't do it. Woodhill would be your best bet $20 senior all day Sat/Sun public holidays.

First dirt bike nzdragon? If it is it's a good choice just keep the oil & air filter fresh and you'll have a ball.

As to joining a club, you can now get a day licence and try it out, i'm with Rodney, good club.

Hi mate I'm on the shore too!!

ANyway Wood hill is great. especially when it rains. THe rain packs the sand down and it's alot more fun.

Riverhead is close too, but not fun at all in the rain. it's got to be reasonably dry if you are a noob. you will hate it otherwise....

Word is though that there is a new MX track being made in silvedale.

otherwise there is no "free" places to ride that I know of. Someone did say to me that you can ride near the albany mega center or something.

Give me a yell if you want to come with to woodhill. I'm trying to get out there this weekend....... if you are on MSN I'm sjgmcardle at hotmail.com

Cheers
