Sunday ride - Lismore Forest - 10am
2024-12-08 10:00 - 12:30 (Pacific/Auckland) | Old Parapara Rd, Whanganui, -39.83179785210985, 175.1671180173915
A morning circuitous ride sticking to the main gravel roads in Lismore, starting and ending on SH4, with a short section of tarseal back to the vehicles.
Meet – Corner SH4 and Old Parapara Rd (past the white bridge) on Sunday 8 December at 10am. Big hills, moderately steep in sections. About 25km.
Most of the extensive forest road system in Lismore is great for exploring. Forest360 is keen that we utilize the forest roads and tracks more fully for recreational purposes.
An ideal ride for fit riders, gravel and ebikes.

This year we have spiced it up a little bit. We have the easy course which will have 3 stages (Grade 3) for a fun event. The hard course will be 5 stages and will be hard. It will have grade 4 and 5 trails.
This is a fun event and everyone is welcome to come and ride, only members riding the hard course will be in the running for the enduro champ title. Riders of all levels are encouraged and supported to participate, whether it’s your first race or you are riding for the champ title.

Frank Oskam will lead this scenic ride partly through the Oskam’s farm.
Meet at the X-Gate, (500m past the Kaiwhaiki road turnoff on SH4), for a 10.00am start this Sunday 10 November. The gate will be open and members can park off road inside under the trees.
The ride starts there through the lower farm, pops out onto the river road and up to Gentle Annie lookout. At the top the route goes back onto a farm track beside the Whanganui River, past the pyramid to “That Place” bike park. Beginners could be picked up here or bikers could carry on along Kaiwhaiki Rd back to the cars for a 30km loop.
The more adventurous and ebikers could follow Frank on an alternative but a steeper way back to the cars from ‘That Place’.
