SUMMARY:Sunday Woodhill Bi-weekly Ride - ACG
DESCRIPTION:Being the first ride back after lockdowns the pace on this ride will likely be slower and a little bit more social… to allow us to ease back into it.\nCome and join us for a bi weekly MTB ride at Woodhill on Saturdays.\nIn the unlikely event that none of the hosts can make it then a ride may be cancelled up to a few days before. Register through the meetup.com link for updates and contact tracing.\nSKILL LEVEL\nThis is a blend of Intermediate and Advanced riding and I envisage we will start with intermediate and likely split up into 2 smaller groups later in the morning to allow those who want to continue to focus on an intermediate level to do so while a few in the group seek out a couple more challenging trails to end the day. You can choose which level you wish to do.\nTRAILS\nMix of grade 3 & 4 through out the day but as mentioned above you can elect to do only 3’s and the odd easy 4 if you aren’t in the advanced camp\nFITNESS\nPost-lockdown easy pace – to ease back into it.\nWe won’t be treating these as uphill races\, the ride is more focused on the ride downhill so your uphill climbing speed is not critical though you must be fit enough to climb judgement call at least 2 times.\nACG operates a no drop policy which means we regroup at trail heads and trail ends to ensure everyone is safe and accounted for.\nWe will be out there for a few hours but it will be at a comfortable pace and will regroup for each other at junctions and top of hills.\n—————–\nMEETING POINT\nArrive and meet up at the BBQ tables in front of the main Woodhill MTB Park shop by or prior to 8.45am so everyone can have time to purchase park passes and get their equipment ready to ride by 9:00am.\nArriving early means you won’t be left behind – you can always grab a coffee and socialise with the other riders while we wait for the 9:00am start time.\nCasual pass $15 or you can buy 6 or 10 month passes.\nRegister through the meetup.com link for updates and contact tracing.

SUMMARY:Real Adventure Trail Ride - Join in the Mystery (Mtb)
DESCRIPTION:1. Does the idea of the unknown excite you?\n2. Do you like the feel of being a maverick on a journey?\n3. Are you sick of the “same old” challenges each weekend and just looking for something a little bit different to break out of the norm?\n4. Are you intrigued by the prospect of riding bike trails others might not agree follow contemporary expectations?\nIf you answered YES then these rides might be for you!\nThese mystery rides are for capable riders who like to ride old school trails that aren’t seriously groomed or sculptured to within an inch of their flow riding lives.\nThis is real riding where you need to make your flow happen with your skill because the trails don’t just give it to you because you point the bike downhill.\nIf you love a challenge then join us for some fun exhilarating times.\nWHO’S IT FOR\nRiders who like a bit of off camber trail\, who enjoy tight twisty technical terrain with obstacles to conquer and don’t mind exerting a bit of energy\, or getting dirty (some mud is possible)\, or really using their brains when riding.\nDon’t expect massive sustained gravity descents\, but do be ready to see your up and down riding skills tested at every turn in the variable terrain that’s going to be on offer – plus expect your handling skills to grow exponentially as a result.\nTHE TRAILS\nThe trails we’ll ride may or may not be ridden on a lot these days for a variety of reasons…. which means they could be a little overgrown in places\, but they are definitely bike orientated trails that are intended to put your MTB riding skills to the test – and are guaranteed to deliver fun exciting satisfying times.\nI promise there is nothing truly scary\, just worthy challenges.\nWHAT BIKES\nOnly suitable for proper knobbly mountain bikes (no hybrids\, or road bikes)\nAND YOU\nMust be confident riding variable terrain\, and think every obstacle is simply there for you to conquer.\nWHERE\nLocated in and around the north shore region – exact riding/meeting locations will be provided to RSVP’d riders the evening prior on a need to know basis to maintain the required air of mystery.\nWhat happens on tour stays on tour\, but feel free to tell your friends too join us if they dare.

Are you sick of the “same old” challenges each weekend and just looking for something a little bit different to break out of the norm?\n4. Are you intrigued by the prospect of riding bike trails others might not agree follow contemporary expectations? \nIf you answered YES then these rides might be for you! \nThese mystery rides are for capable riders who like to ride old school trails that aren’t seriously groomed or sculptured to within an inch of their flow riding lives. \nThis is real riding where you need to make your flow happen with your skill because the trails don’t just give it to you because you point the bike downhill. \nIf you love a challenge then join us for some fun exhilarating times. \nWHO’S IT FOR\nRiders who like a bit of off camber trail\, who enjoy tight twisty technical terrain with obstacles to conquer and don’t mind exerting a bit of energy\, or getting dirty (some mud is possible)\, or really using their brains when riding. \nDon’t expect massive sustained gravity descents\, but do be ready to see your up and down riding skills tested at every turn in the variable terrain that’s going to be on offer – plus expect your handling skills to grow exponentially as a result. \nTHE TRAILS\nThe trails we’ll ride may or may not be ridden on a lot these days for a variety of reasons…. which means they could be a little overgrown in places\, but they are definitely bike orientated trails that are intended to put your MTB riding skills to the test – and are guaranteed to deliver fun exciting satisfying times. \nI promise there is nothing truly scary\, just worthy challenges. \nWHAT BIKES\nOnly suitable for proper knobbly mountain bikes (no hybrids\, or road bikes) \nAND YOU\nMust be confident riding variable terrain\, and think every obstacle is simply there for you to conquer. \nWHERE\nLocated in and around the north shore region – exact riding/meeting locations will be provided to RSVP’d riders the evening prior on a need to know basis to maintain the required air of mystery. \nWhat happens on tour stays on tour\, but feel free to tell your friends too join us if they dare.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Novice Mtb Boot Camp - Back to Basics\, session 1 of 6
DESCRIPTION:Please register for these courses through the Meetups website.\n***** TOTALLY NEW COURSE for SUMMER 2021 *****\nBACK BY POPULAR DEMAND\nNOTE: This time I’ve set the course to be run on Saturdays to allow those who weren’t able to attend Sundays last year – however this Event requires minimum of 15 participants attending to make it viable – so please RSVP early and invite friends and family if you want to ensure we get the numbers required. If numbers are low I may move it back to Sundays.\nENSURE you can attend all 6 dates listed below\nThis MTB Skills Boot Camp was run every year since 2014. It has proved to be a very popular event with our riders who have benefited greatly from receiving instruction\, tips and general training on fundamental MTB skills.\nREVIEW TRAINEE COMMENTS: See what trainees have been saying about the course in the comments section for an early run course here.\nWhile you will certainly get better by going out on the group rides\, & I’m a great supporter of time in the saddle being key to building ability\, there are some fundamental skills that our novice riders could & should be learning from the beginning which would supercharge their confidence in leaps and bounds.\nBTW – don’t confuse the word ‘Novice’ with the term ‘Beginner’. I use the term Novice to describe a skill level not the length of time you have been riding.

SUMMARY:Novice Mtb Boot Camp - Back to Basics\, session 1 of 6
DESCRIPTION:Please register for these courses through the Meetups website. \n***** TOTALLY NEW COURSE for SUMMER 2021 ***** \nBACK BY POPULAR DEMAND \nNOTE: This time I’ve set the course to be run on Saturdays to allow those who weren’t able to attend Sundays last year – however this Event requires minimum of 15 participants attending to make it viable – so please RSVP early and invite friends and family if you want to ensure we get the numbers required. If numbers are low I may move it back to Sundays. \nENSURE you can attend all 6 dates listed below \nThis MTB Skills Boot Camp was run every year since 2014. It has proved to be a very popular event with our riders who have benefited greatly from receiving instruction\, tips and general training on fundamental MTB skills. \nREVIEW TRAINEE COMMENTS: See what trainees have been saying about the course in the comments section for an early run course here. \nWhile you will certainly get better by going out on the group rides\, & I’m a great supporter of time in the saddle being key to building ability\, there are some fundamental skills that our novice riders could & should be learning from the beginning which would supercharge their confidence in leaps and bounds. \nBTW – don’t confuse the word ‘Novice’ with the term ‘Beginner’. I use the term Novice to describe a skill level not the length of time you have been riding. I know that even if you’ve been riding for some time now (without any formal training) that these sessions will be an big eye opener in regards to the bad habits you probably have that are limiting your skill advancement. \nThis is a 6 part “SEQUENTIAL” series so to really benefit from it you need to attend ALL sessions which means you need to be truly motivated\, committed and enthusiastic participants.

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!
