I’ve done Meremere Track going back a few years ago but in a 4wd. I’m pretty sure they lock the gate at the start of the dirt section over winter, not sure the date it opens. Great road for adventure bikes, can be quite rough and has fantastic views. Writing about it now has actually made me decide to go and ride it soon. I’ll grab some photos etc when I do. I remember there being some long steep hills with clay/ papa surface which if it rained would be very slippery with big drop offs off the sides.
