We are blown away by the amount of support and help we got to get the tracks open again It just showed how much the track system is appreciated.
A plus is we got a few more tunnels around the place now....
The Rotary Ride is now passable. Just make like Bat Man at the BrokenBridge but apart from this it’s back to normal, with a new down hill. We are sorting out prices and seeking funding to replace the bridge.
We had Contact staff come and play pick up sticks on the Huka Lodge Uphill to get that open which was a big help, turned a three day job into a one day.
The new Wairakei track has now got a name S.H. Fun (as in Sate highway) it’s a grade 2 easy warm up.
Taupo Trail receives $2.26 million from New Zealand Cycle Trail project
Nga Haerenga, The New Zealand Cycle Trail project will sign its contract for the new Lake Track cycle trail at a formal event in Taupo on Frida, 13 May.
The trail is a joint initiative of Bike Taupo, Department of Conservation, Taupo District Council, local community supporters and The New Zealand Cycle Trail project.
New Zealand Cycle Trail Project Manager Richard Balm says Bike Taupo had done an excellent job on the planning for the trail, making today’s contract signing possible.
“The idea of having a trail along the western shore of Lake Taupo has been a dream for a long time. The stunning scenery, native forest, close proximity to the lake and easy track gradient will make this trail very popular for both cyclists and walkers,” Mr Balm says.
