Motorbikes can only ride in Riverhead Forest at a sanctioned Waitemata Motorcycle ride. No riding at any other time.
Happy Labour Day, here's my labour
Fresh track Oct 25, it's going to be fast once bedded in. There's a few line choices built in and only one surprise right at the end, I've marked it so be cautious.
Currently the only way out is back up the forestry road but going to develop multiple exits once I figure them out.

      Just discovered it in Jan 2026.
      It has nice flow and can be ridden very fast.
      One of the best tech trails around, might compete with Sneaky Sneaky for top 5.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
