Hi there !

As CC says, I live in the South side of Dorkland Whereabouts are you moving too ? And what sort of riding do you like ???

Auckland has several mountian biking areas, Woodhill & Riverhead up north, down southside, there is Hunua, Whitford & a small area in Pukekohe And that's about my limit of knowledge of mountain biking Although if you are happy to explore Rotorua & Taupo are excellent for off roading !

Road riding is not for the faint hearted in central Auckland, Clevedon area is a a well known road cycling area with beautiful countryside....... arriving in Feb you'll have plenty of nice late summer days to get out.........There is a very good club that rides out Sunday mornings from Ardmore www.cycleclub.co.nz I think Cycle City at Manukau do second hand bikes, but if you can be bothered with driving around looking then www.trademe.co.nz is your best bet.............. there are several ladies cycle groups around depending on your area.

Feel free to PM for more info
