Description

Motorbikes can only ride in Riverhead Forest at a sanctioned Waitemata Motorcycle ride. No riding at any other time. Beautifully thought out trail, designed to give MTB riders an uphill route to the likes of Esses, Two Hoes, Ian's Knob etc. However, like all the trails in this forest, it is multi user and bi directional so ride with love and peace in your hearts bro :-)
