With less than a week till the "Te Mata Peak Downhill Race" we are in desperate need of marshals to help out in track. Approx 10 required.

Shifts are 8.30-12.00 or 12.00-3.30
Date: Saturday 16th November.
Meet at Chambers Carpark, Tauroa Road, Havelock North.
Please DM if you can help!!!!

We are at risk of not being able to run this event if we don't have enough numbers 😬

Volunteers needed:

Next saturday (16th Nov) HB Riders (youth division of club) are holding their annual DH race at Te Mata Peak.

This event caters to riders under the age of 19 and gives them a taste of DH racing in a safe (😆 as safe as it can possibly be while going all guns blazing down a single track!!!) And controlled way.

Ok, that might all be a push but the groms love it and we need a hand.

Maybe a morning or arvo shift sitting trackside heckling them (the louder the better!!) while also watching them get through your section safely might be on your bucket list. Tick it off!!!

If you can help, please let us know either through Facebook or email
[email protected]

Pack a picnic, bring the family and enjoy a day up the peak watching our favorite sport going off. These rippers are FAST!!

"I dont have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills" - skills that we can use!!!

We need a hand, actually we need many hands!!

Are you keen for more mtb events for our youth in HB? Well, to do this we need a group of parents/grandparents/little helpers keen to dig deep and assist with the logistics of pulling these events together.

The club only has a small events crew so to get these off the ground, we need help.

You don't have to be part of the committee so don't stress, it's not a monthly commitment. You may only be available to help with rego at events .... that's perfect.

If you want to help out and give the youth the chance to experience the what mtb events are like, DM.

We have a 4 race series planned for summer and potentially a schools event if we can pull it off but to do this, I need a hand!!

Ride 'the peak' ? Take the time to complete the survey to assist the crew in getting the new trail across the line 👌 Represent the youth as it is you who will benefit from this extension to 'Jumps' track.

Te Mata Park is considering building a new MTB trail - from the water tanks at the saddle down the northern boundary to the main gates and the start of Te Kahika track. This would take Te Kahika riders off the road and provide a great descent trail from the saddle.

Te Mata Park has a survey running on its website to assess MTB usage and needs in the Park. It would be great to for the MTB community to show support by completing the survey. It’s only open for another week.
