Motorbikes can only ride in Riverhead Forest at a sanctioned Waitemata Motorcycle ride. No riding at any other time.
One of the very best trails in the forest. Originally had several logs across and we ran a dirt bike race up it over the logs. They are now gone.

 Pretty much perfect conditions. A few small puddles, but not really worth mentioning.
