Southland MTB Club

The Southland Mountain Bike Club recently purchased an e-barrow with a $2099 contribution from the Ground Effect Slush Fund. It has already been put to work, helping to make the maintenance side of things easier on the trails at Sandy Point.

The 29km trail network at Sandy Point Mtb Park has been refreshed with new map boards and trail signs to match the recently finished trail upgrade at Motupōhue/Bluff.
