Motorbikes can only ride in Riverhead Forest at a sanctioned Waitemata Motorcycle ride. No riding at any other time.
Starts off zig zagging down semi steep hill and then straightens up a bit with a few wheel size holes that you can hop over if you are carrying lots of speed. Halfway down keep to the right at a junction. One of the better trails in the Pines.

 Forgot how fun this trail is. Fast and flowy, by RH standards. A few patches could use a trim, but running well

 Great but the trail at the bottom ending on western side of Campbell's was a stagnant swamp in places

      Great Zig Zag, needs a pit of speed to do it well. Tall riders - drop that seat post!
