Event details
Pedal the Forest! Let’s ride!
You and your whānau are invited for an adventure in Pākuratahi Forest. Join us to pedal your mountain bikes through the Tunell Gully Recreation Area. Ride through pine forests, native bush and fresh mountain streams in this recreational wonderland north of Upper Hutt.
This FREE event is delivered in partnership with NtrailZ (trail builders), WORD (youth mountain biking), and Wildfinder (bicycle rentals). 
Tamariki from 7yrs can participate in guided rides and skills sessions specially designed for those new to mountain biking.
Wildfinder will be hiring bikes for those wanting to give mountain biking a try. Click here to reserve a bike.
Our adventure event basecamp will have a sausage sizzle and games available for the whānau, as well as bike safety checks and free fix ups hosted by NtrailZ.

Please note:
-
Take responsibility for your safety. Wear a helmet and whatever safety gear suits your level (and speed) of riding.
