MTB-Buddies - Nelson/Tasman Cyclists

We are a group (not a club) of friends who like to ride bikes of all sorts - mountain, road, track and even unicycles. This site exists to 'share the wealth' - we want to:
  • let people know about the great tracks around Nelson, Tasman and beyond
  • encourage more riders to join us on these tracks, and
  • motivate everyone to help out with track building, maintenance and improvement.
If you are looking for information on the new Map Book by Steve Newport, more information is here
Please sign up for an account, show up for a ride or working bee, ask any questions and tell us what you think!

What no rides!? Sad
Upcoming social/group training rides would normally appear here, but things are a little quiet at the moment and it's empty.

Don't be shy - this is a community site so if you're heading out and would like some company, post your ride.

Corkscrew

Just a head's up on the state of Corkscrew @ Kaiteriteri MTB Park.

NOW REOPENED!

Only a couple of spots that remain a bit sticky but we'll get them sorted eventually. While this track is still bedding in, we ask that people don't ride it during or immediately after heavy rain. Keeps it sweet for everyone else Smiling

Chings Highway

Chings Highway is not worth attempting to ride at the moment
There are still several slips from the flooding, and a lot of growth from over summer.
Later this year it is our intention to regroom and fix this track up ready for next summer. If you would like to help with this send me a message
Cheers
Steve
