Just in time for Labour Weekend, we announce the opening of a new loop circuit!
Our latest track Swish branches off Bay View and sweeps you down through several switchbacks before merging with Easy Rider. While the swtiches are wide & well-bermed, the gradient puts it into the intermediate category - but if you're riding Bay View that wont be a problem anyway!
This gentle beech forest spur is a haven for birdlife so if you're not in a hurry, pause for a moment to listen to the bellbirds & tuis.
The approx. 1km of Easy Rider will take you right back to Salivater, crossing Tapu & Bay View on the way.
There are some superb views out over Tapu Bay if you can tear your eyes away from the undulating, easy-grade track.
Another loop option on this circuit is to head down the advanced-grade Tapu, pop out onto the road, pedal round to the Bay View exit, and link back up to Easy Rider.
Until we print our 2011 maps, you can follow our progress via the GoogleMap under our Maps link.
Future plans are to extend Easy Rider further south and create an entry/exit point on the Riwaka-Kaiteriteri Rd.
Steve Newport took some video with his helmet cam at our recent event. You can check it out on our park tv or on YouTube under Kaiteriteri MTB Park Challenge.
