C. ---) or a day out, say, at Kaiteriteri MTB Park, then get a group together and give me a call: Warwick, 021 493 277. Bike Shuttles . www.bikeshuttles.co.nz WIFE doesn't want to be the TAXI for that day ride you want to do? Bring the whole family; I'll drop you off for your ride and take your family for a great nature ramble (my past incarnation was biology teacher/researcher) and then meet you with them at the end of your track. Ideal tracks for this great idea: Canaan/Rameka and Barron Flat. Special family rates apply. Phone me; Warwick; 021 493 277. Bike Shuttles. www.bikeshuttles.co.nz Kaiteriteri MTB Park
A fantastic MTB Park at Kaiteriteri with a wide range of tracks to suit all abilities. Over 20 kms of trail with more being added every year. Development is spearheaded by local mountain bikers with backing from the Kaiteriteri Recreation Reserve Board and the support of TDC and local businesses. Forest Access Update Please be advised that the Dunn Trail from Tantragee Rd to Four Corners intersection is closed at all times due to the logging operation moving down the slope. Riders can still access Fringed Hill, but only via the 'Classic'. Please pay attention to all signage, danger tape and warnings up there, and don't enter this area while it is closed. Serpentine-Clover Knob 12/12/10 Closed weekdays and weekends until logging is finished. Nelson MTB Club Trail Advocacy The Nelson MTB Club have two representatives meeting regularly with NCC staff on public land MTB trail development and issues. If members have any concerns we would encourage you to contact either Tim Tucker (027 2320280) or Chris Mildon (021 2309120) in the first instance for further information.
These regular meetings (and the work done in this area by past committee members) in no small part have helped with forward planning and securing NCC funding for trail development with several exciting projects on the go at the moment. The quickly formulating Regional Development Plan for MTB Trails to sit with the NCC is a natural addition to the established process already in place, and will only strengthen the club's involvement and ongoing relationship with the council. The NCC, along with our key forestry company Hancock Forest Management are partners in the club's trail advocacy efforts. They work alongside us, recognise and appreciate our passion and committment to our sport and are not the 'opposition'. The established forum in place with club committee representatives and NCC staff is the best place to deal with any trail issues on public land.
