The “middle bit” of Pōhatu is open!

“The middle bit” of Pōhatu is now open for riding! The official opening is on Sunday, but it’s too good not to share with you all now.

Get to know the track before going all Rampage on it. Pre-ride, re-ride then free-ride 👍.

This track pushes the boundaries of where and how you build a grade 4 track. Unsurprisingly it’s rocky. It’s also as steep, fast, and has some amazing rock work holding it all together. We know it will quickly become another “must ride” at Mākara Peak.

Shout out to Trails Wellington for picking up the tab on this one, and to Tom, Scottie and Bryn for their help. Become a member of TW and help fund more trails like this.

Thanks to Thomas, Ricky, Poval, Tryfan, Elliot, Liam and the rest of the TGL Contracting Limited team who have done the hard mahi, in some unforgiving conditions.

From the Supporters, this project has been led by Andrew Cooper, with help from Kerei Thompson and the rest of the MPS Trail Crew. These guys have been on site each week, taking time out from their day jobs, working with TGL to help make the best track possible 👏 👏 .

As usual WCC Ranger Mark Kent has been instrumental.

(PS “the top bit” of Pōhatu is still under construction. Watch this space).
