Can you ride Riverhead forest in winter?

Riverhead forest is a popular mountain bike destination in summer in Auckland but in winter very few people brave it.
I take my Zerode Taniwha out for a ride on a typical wet ride to show you what it is really like.

"I will not mention my EBike" 5000 times later "okay I wont mention my EBIKE again". Another Great video

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Thanks for that Dan. I must admit life without an e bike is not much of a life these days.

[@TiaanMarais]

Another great video Lance 🤘💪

great video lance.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Thanks for that, always love the feedback.

[@Tom45124512]

Nice Lance, we saw your ute there and were hoping to bump into ya but it was not to be. Nice riding too by the way!

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Thanks mate. Yeah I saw your vehicles when I left. Fingers crossed for a dry covid free Riverhead enduro.

[@jamesbailey2213]

Great video lance

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Thanks for that James

[@cablecutter9044]

Great video. The north facing steeper tracks off Browns road access are currently good riding, I heft my bike over the boggy bits ;)

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I took the Levo out today. Thought I would show what an e-bike could get up. The problem was I couldn't get up anything. Super slippery.

[@PerryHughes]

did the Robinsons road loop the day after, wasn't too bad, been doing some trail karma drainage recently too, nice vid, bring on the summer

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Good on you. I was thinking of doing some chopping back myself.

[@ToddNZMTB]

Yeah that place is wicked in the wet, enjoying the videos while I'm off the bike. Riverhead victim ha ha good news about the enduro!

[@bestdayevermtb2]

So hope we get back to some racing. Have booked a weekend away for the Kerikeri enduro so hope we can still do that also.

[@ToddNZMTB]

@@bestdayevermtb2 I was out at Riverhead the day before the enduro when lockdown kicked in and ended it. Everyone was practicing the trails, so cool!

[@bestdayevermtb2]

@@ToddNZMTB I was riding that day also. Couldn't believe things changed that fast.

[@pentonville2362]

Hello from Oz. Nice video again. Do you rotate your handlebars forward or is it a camera illusion?

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Must be an illusion as they are not rotated forward at all. It is funny with the superview on the gopro as handle bars also look much narrower with a greater rise than they actually are. Thanks for the feedback. I guess your tracks are not that wet.

[@karolynedunn]

Hmmm, looked interesting. Must say we're pretty lucky in Nelson, not much mud.

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I have never ridden in Nelson. I really want to do a trip down there.

[@karolynedunn]

You won't regret it...days and days of riding, and that's just The Gorge!

[@emtbdad320]

Was this shot at Level 3?I haven't been riding ever since we went to Level 3 but might ride soon as I am already having dreams of riding my bike :)

[@bestdayevermtb2]

This was filmed earlier.

[@emtbdad320]

@@bestdayevermtb2 Cool! I'm assuming the forest was quite busy? Anyway great video mate!

[@rubenconzales9718]

E bike with gearbox?

[@bestdayevermtb2]

Now you are talking. Went out on same ride on Levo. Was great fun but drive train sounded terrible.

[@daviddutton566]

Just like riding the UK trails in summer 🤣🤣🤣

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I know a lot of trails close when wet around the world. A bit like the UK if we did that we would never ride.

[@philboynz]

You screamed like a girl lol 😂😂👍

[@bestdayevermtb2]

I didn't want to get my feet wet. That turned out to be a lost cause.
