On your bike
Tracks are safe & secure to ride alone. "Middle -Earth" track is a good warm up with single and double track areas. Ride on slope of a hill so family can watch you go. "Hobbits-Cove" track is technical and fun but not for the fainthearted. Route cascades down the hill to the river banks and then up through the trees back to the top - hairpins, sand, rocks, steep downhills - testing all the way. Ride routes as many times as you like.
