Hello summer 2025/2026! Ruapehu MTB Club is excited for another awesome summer here around Ruapehu! On Sunday Matiu & Jordana spent a few hours tidying up along a few trails at Uenuku Pines MTB Park - it was good to be back out there enjoying the sunshine and riding the trails! We’ll be back out there again soon to keep working along the trails 🙌🏽
Greg has also been doing work along the trails recently too, make sure to check out his awesome work on the jump section at the bottom of Crank! It’s looking real good right now and allows riders to flow into Bent Spokes (weave your way along the single track through the trees) or get sendy off the jumps along High Flyer (the most advanced jump trail currently within the bike park).
Make sure to also check out the epic trails around Ruapehu - especially the two newest additions to the trail network, Te Hangāruru and Te Ara Mangawhero! To learn more and stay up to date on all the M2S trails, follow their social accounts and check out the official Mountains to Sea - Ngā Ara Tūhono website too!
As we gear up for summer, we’ll get back to being more active on our social accounts too! If you have any questions or want to contact RMBC, please send us a message or email [email protected]
Cheers,
Greg, Matiu, Jordana
