SUZUKI TRAIL BLAZER PROMISES TWICE THE FUN…
Trail ride junkies from around the North Island will be getting excited about the Suzuki Trail Blazer 2 day trail ride looming on the radar for 14-15 July.
Momentum has been built by the opening one day rides held May and June that attracted over 500 riders and lots of great feedback.
So just what is special about the 2 day…
Firstly a new trail system is introduced on the North side of State Highway 5 featuring a 32km main trail, 14km short trail, 3km Novice track and 500 metre kid’s track. These tracks were very popular in 2006 with many riders enjoying the fast pace, hills and trails like the “track to terror, gumboot trail, swamp track, pig track and fast blast”. Around 15km of trail has been changed from the 2006 event held at this venue including the addition of 3 new sections which should be heaps of fun to ride.
The Saturday of the event takes place on the South side of the Highway which has been completely graded ready for the final action of 2007. Yes this will be the final ride for 07 on the South side of the road, because the August 12 event will be held on the North side.
All these tracks add up to over 100km of groomed trail with around 50km of fresh track prepared for action on Sunday only.
The good people at Suzuki will be taking a fine range of Suzuki off roaders to Trail Blazer for people who are thinking of buying a new bike. There will be both 2 and 4 wheelers available in kids and adults sizes.
The full range of Trail Blazer apparel will be for sale including T shirts, caps, hoodies and beanies, just the thing to both look the part and stay warm. Unfortunately there is no camping at the event.
Entries are taken on the day by cash or cheque. There are no discounts for entering both days.
So for riders that live far away from Taupo in places like the Far North and Wellington, this is the Suzuki Trail Blazer to do. For families, it is a great way to end the school holidays and for others, it is just a good 2 day action packed break in the middle of winter. Remember those key features… lots of traction, a berm in every corner, well marked trails, espresso coffee and good parking.
Stay tuned for announcements from Epic Events regarding the September 8-9 Trail Ride.
