Bike Taupo Funding Update June 2017

1)      Thanks to Trailfund who recently granted us $3500 to fix the big slip on the Te Iringa track.  This is scheduled after winter and the boys will tackle the slip that is currently blocking the trail for mountain bikers.

2)      We also received $5400 from the First Sovereign Trust which will go towards the fantastic work that Cath does with Kids BT. This funding will be utilised in the Turangi region, helping to get Turangi kids riding on two wheels.

3)      Craters of the Moon Trust have provided funding for the new improved signage in the mountain bike park. They have also granted $5000 for the construction of a gravel pathway from town beside the thermal explorer highway. This will be done in stages until there is a continuous pathway from town to the mountain bike park.

4)      We are progressing with the underpass project from the café under the highway to Craters. We now have sufficient funds to purchase the underpass and this will be delivered to site next month.  We will now be trying to fund “the hole” to install it…

5)      Membership news coming to the website soon, so watch this space.

Thanks to all the organisations above for their generous support.
