🚵 Trail Notification - Take Me To Your Leader Extension - OPEN 🚵

An enormous thank you to the Trail Saint crew for their effort in building the Take Me To Your Leader Extension climbing trail.

The passion behind this trail has been brewing for years within a crew of some of the earlier NMTBC members who wanted to create a user-friendly way to access the Lollipop summit.

The Trail Saints started building in 2025 and have collectively spent more than 1,000 hours bringing this trail to life. The end result is fantastic — a fun, yet at times challenging, climb that twists and turns its way to the top of the hill.

Adding to the fun are the two new top sections of Top Dog and Hotbox, both starting from the Lollipop summit. Many thanks to Living Trails for their work on these sections. They'll take a little time to bed in, but they're already a lot of fun to ride.

Go and enjoy!

The Backyard Enduro will race Top Dog from the top of the Take Me To Your Leader Extension, so the nearly 200 riders registered will get to experience it this weekend.

🚵‍♂️ Waitarake Access Update 🚵‍♀️

Great news! Access has reopened to most Waitarake trails despite ongoing forestry operations.

✅ A new access trail linking the Maitai Valley to Kaka Rd is now open.
✅ Riders can access most Sharlands Valley trails, including Supplejack, Matai, Rimu, Sharlands Creek and What The DOC Ordered, via this trail and Kaka Rd.
✅ Maitai Face trails remain open via Te Piki.

Please note:
⚠️ Sharlands Rd is closed 24/7. Logging operations may be active at any time. If riders are found using Sharlands Rd, future access could be put at risk.
⚠️ Waitarake Carpark remains closed – please park at the Maitai Hub by the pump track.
⚠️ Central Rd remains closed from the bottom.
⚠️ Kaka Face, Waterloo, Aorere, Chings Highway, Wiggles and Waggles remain closed.

This is a huge step forward for year-round access and means forestry operations no longer shut down the entire riding area. Thanks to Nelson City Council, Koata Ltd and Tasman Pine Forests Ltd for helping make it happen.

Please respect all signage, closures and designated access routes to help protect future access for everyone. 🙌
