Celebrate midwinter and the beginning of lengthening days with an exploratory ride!

A biggish loop on hilly forest roads through the centre of Lismore Forest along Mangaone Rd, then turning SE to the boundary corner, over a fence and through a paddock to a private forest block and a lunch stop at Ken Pawson’s “bush hut”. We will then descend to Mangawhero Rd and ride north alongside the Mangawhero River before looping back through Lismore Forest.

Meet – Corner SH4 and Old Parapara Rd (past the white bridge) on Sunday 23 June at 10am. About 40km on forest roads with some muddy sections in the private forest. Mainly big hills, steep in sections.
