I love going for a ride by myself, being in the middle of the forest with just my own thoughts for company. This morning was particularly good (aside from a brief interuption from a group of three 15 year olds quoting Fat Bastard from Austin Powers – odd), so I couldn’t resist taking some quick pics on my iPhone, the only camera I had with me at the time.
The Oropi Grove MTB Park has had a fair bit of development since I was last there (probably 8 years ago now), and there are now some nice progressive structures, some challenging lines, and some nicely built jumps. The only negative was that some of the trails were a little overgrown. Perhaps the Tauranga crew aren’t riding up there as much anymore. I definitely recommend a visit if you are in Tauranga.
