You got to pump it!

Great News, Taupo District Council has given the go ahead to build a pump track in Spa Park.

Track Crew News - May 2010

Improvements are still happening in Wairakei thanks to the dedicated few Brendon and Pete Lockwood have built a new Cork Screw uphill which will make this circuit a lot more popular as it’s a great little down hill on the other side It has a whip de do from hell which will take your breath away

Carwyn has been chipping away on Deb’s up hill and a working bee is planned so it can be finished off in one hit.
Pete Manning has made a little change in Walters gum trees that adds to the flavor, Walters is now a major way home thanks to all his work

Rotary Ride is still being improved with help from a bunch of Contact guys working on the Huka Lodge section for a day.
For those sharper people out there you will have noticed a big increase of walkers on the Rotary Ride. Doc have a big tree down on the walking track so have asked if they can divert walkers on to our track to help them out. 
So just be extra careful with more people around.

Track Crew News - April 2010

Kawakawa Bay is now really stating to come together we are 4.6 Kms in now. We have just crossed the stream that had the bridge with the rock steps on the other side
We are not happy with the odd spot so will be making some adjustments when we come out If you think the hill is a bit hard we had a 72 year old turn up on a road bike at the top the other day.

Work on The Lake Track is coming along with a huge amount of behind the scenes work being done by many people. We have tight dead lines set down by the Government having to have the feasibility / business study done by 31st of May.

They didn’t like our W2K one: We reckoned it was feasible and then built it.
