Skills courses were held this March - Well done to all those who got along

New Plymouth Mountain Bikers Club in conjunction with the TSB Community Trust and Mountainbike Adventures ran two more MTB skills courses last weekend. The courses were on March 1st and 2nd 2008 at Lake Mangamahoe Mountain Bike Park, SH3, New Plymouth.

The courses were the Trailmaster #1 on Saturday for those who had done a Phundamentals course last year. The Phundamentals course on Sunday was for those who were new to skills courses.

These courses were bought to you with the assistance of the TSB Community Trust.

Updated MTB trail map for Mangamahoe

An updated map of the tracks has now been posted.

This has removed the area affected by logging and the bridal path that is currently being used by horse riders.

There have been some complaints to the NPDC re bike riders on the bridal trails, so best avoid.

The map can also be downloaded by clicking on the following link:

Best printed on a colour printer at this stage.
