Track Crew Update
Mr and Mrs
The Mr is open again, so you can still blast down to the road as normal. The option then is to turn right and ride down the road, or, you can turn left then do a right again into the logging area. At the end of the logging road Bruce has marked a rough route over the entry to Young Pines. If you want to check out the new Mrs do so, but it’s a dead end track at present.
Rotary Ride
We are about to start a new alignment at the top of Tailor’s Bluff which will ease out the very top section and give us better water control. At the same time we will build up the track again towards Huka Falls. This will allow it to pack down over winter and also re plant with trees. Be aware there may be times when you have to walk sections.
Waihaha track
We have just finished fixing the track that runs up from the Waihaha bridge to the hut site This was a matter of clearing a one km of over-grown track and also fixing bad mud areas and some very bad water erosion. This was funded by the Trail Fund but did not have the money to do all the work in one year. I can say now that apart from the one section just past the swing bridge all the rest is ridable. Its old school techie mountain biking with great bush and river views takes about two hours in and out riding time. This support from the trail fund has been fantastic as it has let us get some great back country riding opened up all within 40 minutes driving time from Taupo.
