Event: Women's Mountain Bike Skills Ride

Women headed out to Lake Mangamahoe on 6th February for a confidence and skills building women-only workshop designed for and run by women.

The ride leaders, Jenn and Sandra took the crew for an afternoon ride on the cross country trails at Mangamahoe mountain bike park.

The ride finished with a free BBQ around 4 pm. Hope to get some photos up soon.

Track mapping crew formed


The club has been donated a GPS unit:

We have a team of 4 who will learning how to use the 60CSx and subsequently keep updating the MTB track data used to create the trail maps. Thanks to those who have come forward.

These maps are the ones that all can download - there are a lot of new tracks being developed and we are having trouble keeping our maps up to date.
Look for some updated maps soon!
