Hey TotalNZ, small world I see, I also spend alot of time at Titri park or at the old Honda track with my mates for practice. We try to ride once a week if not more (if work allows us) and if im not in CHCH for a weekend.
We are planning to go for a ride in Berwick again either this weekend or the next (depending on the weather). Have you ridden in the Kaitangata forest as there is a very good trail ride in there but think its just been logged aswell.
If you and your mates want to join us for a ride let me know, I always believe in the more the better.
