Depending on the weather, this could end up being a few streets, a few alleyways, some steps and anything else we can find and try not to get evicted from Parliament, then possibly on to some other urban locations - or it could be an even better dirty ride!

This popular walking track is normally off limits to mountain bikers but we have special limited permission to ride it for one night - for Club members only. It gradually climbs through native bush to the Orongorongo River and will be ridden "there and back" from the carpark.
Note that due to the special permission we have, this is a club members only ride, so be sure that you've paid your membership (although there will be a limited number of membership forms for those that would like to join on the night (only $25!)).
After the ride we'll have a BBQ at the park, so be sure to bring along something to slap on the grill & quench your thirst!
