- IMPORTANT: All riders must wear long sleeves, sturdy long pants, helmet & gloves (no shorts or T-shirts), and riders of all bikes 65cc & over must wear motorcycle boots. This will all be checked before you go out to ride.
Terrain: Approx 35km loop over farmland. This is land that is not open for trail riding any other time, and we are very lucky to have access to this area. This is an awesome ride and well worth the trip!! The track this year will be staying off the farm tracks as much as possible and will take in some of the ridgetops. There will be a kids & learners track. Note that if the weather is very wet the ride could be postponed. Please phone the infoline if you are not sure. Remember, the weather can be crap in Wellington and fantastic up there!!
