SUMMARY:Varied Loop of East Auckland
DESCRIPTION:Hello\, This is ride 1 of 4 as part of the Auckland Transport Bike Month series where new members get a free coffee! \nSomething a little different and mysterious even. \nDuring the first lock down I developed and expanded on a mixed terrain loop of East/South Auckland which joins as many green spaces as I could. \nThe route is complicated and has concrete and gravel paths/roads\, a short dirt (or mud😱) section and a few steep climbs. The odd bit of main road too unfortunately.. \nWe will sneak through Highbrook and skirt around Ōtara\, roll along Barry Curtis Park then climb up Point View Reserve! \nMountain bikes (hard tail is perfect) or gravel bikes only\, NOT road bikes! \nIt will be an easy pace with plenty of stops so nobody gets lost\, BUT you must be fit and fast enough so that you don’t lose sight of the rider ahead! I will be near the front and hope to have a tail end charlie. \nPlease register through Meetups for this ride.

SUMMARY:Mt Pirongia Mtb Trails
DESCRIPTION:Please register for this event through the Meetups website. \nThe location: The Mt Pirongia MTB park is a small well designed and built MTB park close to the town of Pirongia approx 2hrs/200km from the Auckland cbd and is close enough for a day trip from Auckland. It is managed and maintained by the Waipa MTB club with around 10 trails from grade 2 to grade 5 for at least 3-4 hours of riding to make it worth the trip. \nWhere and when: We will be meeting at the Sainsbury Road MTB car park which is at the very end of Sainsbury Road on Mt Pirongia. There is a sign post to the MTB Trails at the southern end of the town of Pirongia. There is limited parking in the area by the shelter/toilet so please try and carpool if possible. You should aim to be there and READY to ride by 10:00 when we will have a brief introduction and ride briefing before heading out. \nWhat to bring: Besides your usual riding gear bring a tube\, pump and tools to make basic repairs if required and enough water for about 3-4 hours of riding and snacks during the ride as well as a packed lunch. There is a cafe/bakery in Pirongia if you want to grab something on the way. Bring a chilly bin if you like to keep your lunch and drinks cool as we will probably go back to the car for lunch at about 12:00 for around half an hour. \n* If you want to do the shuttle the cost is $5 per uplift – please bring cash as they do not have Eftpos faculties * \nA gold coin donation to the club who have an honesty box at the carpark will bring you good trail Karma for your day of free riding! \nThe ride plan: We will ride together as a group with the usual no drop policy to check out most of the trails and conditions before Lunch. If you don’t want to ride the harder trails we may break into a couple of groups of similar skill/fitness levels. Because there are only around 10 trails in total at the park we will be riding most of them at least twice. Each group will stop to regroup at the start and end of all trails. Then after lunch lets get a bit crazy and have a free-for-all ride where you can decide which trails you want to ride for the next couple of hours and look at finishing and regrouping back at the carpark by 2:30. Remember to ALWAYS ride with at least ONE riding partner! \nPost ride: You can either head home afterwards or you are welcome to join some of us at the pub/café in Pirongia after the ride at around 3pm for a debrief and feedback of the days riding! \nAny questions please ask away on Meetups!

SUMMARY:Saint Heliers Bay to Onehunga Loop - 50km
DESCRIPTION:Please register for this event through the Meetups website. \nHello\, This is ride 2 of 4 as part of the Auckland Transport Bike Month series where new members get a free coffee! \nThis has been a very popular event enjoyed by many. As last time\, we will leave as two groups\, one at a leisurely pace of 15-20kmph and the other at a quicker pace of 20-25kmph. A good level of fitness is required! \nThe ride will be on 95% quiet roads and cycle paths or lanes (50/50 path/road) with regular regrouping so that nobody gets left behind. Road\, ebike or Cyclocross bikes would be preferable. \nWe will park at St Heliers Bay by Vellenoweth Green and ride along the water front to the city. Then up the Nelson Street path and onto the Lightpath followed by the North-Western path to the Waterview and South-Western path to Onehunga. Finally the foreshore path to Penrose and return to St Heliers Bay for a well deserved coffee or beer and a catchup with the other group. \nAlso for your own safety I recommend a helmet\, lights\, a bell\, bright clothing and confidence on the road. \nIf you cant make this ride I will be listing it again shortly.

No drop policy and will wait at junctions to re group.\nArrive by 5:15pm hit the trails at 5.30pm ride for approx 2 hours – no set tracks decided on we will make a selection on the night.\n*NOTE* There are no change or toilet facilities at any of these locations.\n Riverhead Forest – Strip Rd carpark on Ararimu Valley Rd.\nDIRECTIONS: When coming from Auckland City via the North Western Motorway – Turn right on to Old North Road from State Highway 16 at the big roundabout then right into Ararimu Valley Road travel for 4km and just as you past Westbrook Winery you will arrive at the Strip Road carpark (as seen in the photo). If you reach the Barlow Road carpark you have gone to far.\nHere’s a Google map link to the location: https://goo.gl/maps/NtXQ1r9sesJMwyxo6\nIMPORTANT: If there has been sustain rain in the 2-3 days leading up to a riding date then I may decide to cancel a specific ride due to the trail composition being clay based. When water logged the trails become to greasy to ride – ensure you check the comments section in the days leading up to the event to see if the ride is going ahead.\nIf anyone wants to carpool I suggest you mention it in the comments on meetups and see who can help out.\nKevin.;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Ararimu Road\, Helensville:geo:174.5556745,-36.7072518

SUMMARY:Henderson Twin Streams 33km
DESCRIPTION:Please register for this ride through the Meetups website. \nHello\, This is ride 3 of 4 as part of the Auckland Transport Bike Month series where new members get a free coffee! \nThis mostly flat ride is 90% cycle path and starts from Phyllis Reserve. \nWe will use the NW cycle path until the Henderson turn off\, then weave our way all the way to Henderson Valley Road through country landscapes. \nFrom there we use some quiet roads to get the Oratia Stream shared path and reconnect with Henderson Creek path at the West Wave Aquatic Centre. \nWith the option to ride the Oakley Creek Reserve walkway and past the waterfall on the way back. For those who have not ridden this before its concrete but narrow\, windy with steep bits and bumpy in places. It is very scenic as the attached photos in the Meetups event page show. \nWe could have coffee and cake at the Corban Estate cafe or similar on the way through or back. \nAny bike type and fitness level will do.

SUMMARY:Te Miro Mtb Park
DESCRIPTION:Please register for this event through the Meetups website. \nAbout Te Miro \nThe Te Miro MTB park is a smallish trail network\, but well designed\, built and maintained by the Te Miro MTB club. It is between Cambridge and Morrinsville – about 150km from Auckland\, so close enough for a day trip from Auckland and there is at least 3-4 hours of riding to make it worth the trip. There are trails from grade 2 to grade 4. \nWhat to expect \nWe will be meeting at the Te Miro Mountain Bike car park. You should aim to arrive in time to be ready to ride by 10am. It is a good idea to try and car pool where possible since the car park is relatively small. Post comments below to offer\, accept or request rides. \nDepending on the size of the group we may break into 2 or more groups of similar skill/fitness levels. Each group will stop to regroup at intersections and at the start and end of all trails. \nWhat to bring \nBring enough water for about 3-4 hours of riding. Bring snacks to keep energy levels up.\nLunch – we will keep riding till 1:30/2PM-ish\, taking small rest & snack breaks\, then meet for lunch back at the picnic tables just below the car park.\nEITHER: Bring a packed lunch.\nOR: We will use their built-in BBQ. BYO food & drink. Post comments in Meetups if you can bring items for the group e.g. BBQ utensils. \nBringe spare tube\, pump\, tools etc.\, they are always a good thing to carry on any ride… \nSuitable for mountain bikes.
