No nonsense cycle threads

A group of keen Heathcote Valley mountain bikers are setting up a mtb skills park in the valley. Conservation planting, signage and seating are also part of plan. Work is being completed by a bunch of volunteers. The Slush Fund helped out with $1000 cash to purchase trees, lime chip, tools, pipe, wood and cement.

Cati (Kei Te) Pearson, Tihi the dog and friends (of both Cati and Tihi) swallow a bad weather forecast and head out of Rotorua to ride the magnificent Moerangi Trail in Whirinaki Forest.
