Tracks in Livin' Levin - talk to me

red ribbon roast · Posted: Tue 15/Apr/03 10:53am Post subject: Tracks in Livin' Levin - talk to me

I'm going to be up in the 'nua (you know Horowhenua) over Easter.

Tell me about the tracks there - I know about Waitarere Beach. Are there some tracks east of Levin off Denton Rd.

I know I know - look at the Kennetts book - but would like to hear first hand about some of the tracks and what they are like.

Help me - please

Waiterere forest has had a fair bit of logging recently (I went up a couple of months ago and half of it was gone).

The tracks to the east of Levin are OK but basically downhill single tracks and you get to ride up the gravel road a few times. Pretty well marked, but some dangerous jumps and drops made by the local kids last time I was there.

There are some unmarked gems on the backside of the hill if you want to go exploring, or chat up a local. Hard to describe though.

Nothing to get too excited about. You might head up to Wanganui to the forest there, but I haven't been up presonally. Some riding around Palmy too.

I reckon a call to Southend Cycles would be a good call - 155 Oxford St Levin - 0-6-368 5459

Considering the caliber of the talent that comes out of Levin (Nathan Rankin for example) there must be kick esra tracks up that way.

rankins track is wicked as.

but its overgrown etc and does need a bit of repair here and there.

ive been told it just follows the part of the xc track down but with heaps of offshots onto freckin awesome jumps and drops etc.

when i get my new bike im gonna go ride it.

that step-up looked like it had just been built so i'd say some works already under way

if u only saw rankins track from the shuttle at nss then u probly dnt c the huge wooden drop lurking in the trees, it is about ten ft at its smallest point so where u land i think it be about 13ish perhaps then it leads straight into a hairy right hander Sad

, (u may have seen the big kcuf off matress on the tree) id love to c sum 1 do it. if we hav any suicidal maniacs or really skilled ppl then id like to meet with u.
