At the FourB base, next to Craters MTB park we have been happy to see lots of international tourists and out of towners taking advantage of the quick work Bike Taupo did to get the Huka river trails open

We have received some very disappointing reports of people verbally abusing other people on the Rotary track and our message to those people is this, just stop. This sort of behaviour is completely unnecessary.

Our AGM date has been set and we hope to see you there.

When it became clear that Craters MTB Park wouldn’t be opening for some time and we began to understand the extent of the work to clear the local trails, we knew the cycling community would be as gutted as we were. We also knew that you’d get behind us, and you did and we are totally blown away by your support.

Our trail crew have been out inspecting and clearing the trails. Read more for the udpate.

As you may know, we made a very tough decision this week to cancel the Craters Classic event. This was not a decision made lightly, but it was a decision that was taken out of our hands when we were advised that the Mountain Park would be closed for at least 6 months.

TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO ENTERED & PURCHASED MERCHANDISE FOR THE 2023 EVENT PLEASE READ ON

We are very appreciative of so many people offering their time and services to clear and rebuild the tracks. We understand the sense of pride and responsibility that many of you are taking to want to help rebuild our unique and special place, Craters Mountain Bike Park.

With the uncertainty that the closure of Craters MTB Park brings in terms of readiness, we felt that canceling (whilst extremely disappointing) was the best decision for everyone.

Craters MTB Park is NOW CLOSED for at least six months due to the damage caused by Cyclone Gabrielle.

Huka Trapping started predator control on the Huka Trails along the river (Spa Park to Aratiatia) in June 2018. Later at the end of 2020, Bike Taupo modified the concession with LINZ to allow pest control in Craters Mountain Bike Park.

Santa Parade, Crown Park Developments, Kids Bike Taupo Sessions and more…

Things have been very busy with maintenance on all the trails with lots of weed growth, plus the odd tree down to add to the mix!

On event day, we’ve got you covered on and off the bike. As well as epic riding, when it’s time to celebrate we’ll have plenty of food and drink available, great prizes for our winners and plenty of spot prizes too!

Just an update in regards to Bike Taupo 2023 memberships.

After 10 incredible years of ‘getting it done’ for Bike Taupo, Melissa is leaving us to go ride her bike 😊
