Motorbikes can only ride in Riverhead Forest at a sanctioned Waitemata Motorcycle ride. No riding at any other time. Brutal start to the climb with a rutted section after the metal mesh reinforced trail at the start. It then smooths out to an easier climb. Fast down with a drop at the left fork and a with a by pass at the right fork.
