Slush Fund

The Gravity Downhill Club in Kapiti lease a substantial chunk of local forest and have created a network of shuttle-access trails ranging from fun 'n' flowing to steep 'n' fast.

Bike Wānaka crafted the Deans Bank Track - the Albert Town to Dublin Bay loop track. 11.5 km of buffed single track ideal for short races, endurance events, and family outings.

Mt Victoria has always been a hub for mountain biking in Wellington. The Wellington Mtb Club have the oversight of Mt Vic trails, and the trail building and maintenance is lead by the Matairangi (Mt Vic) Trail Builders crew.

The Southland Mountain Bike Club have created a 15 km network of trails on Motupōhue/Bluff Hill. Way back in 2010 they completed a 4.5 km single track climb to the top of the hill proffering outrageous views of Rakiura/Stewart Island.

Manning-Great Lakes Tip Riders Mountain Bike Club is a club for riders in the Manning Valley and Great Lakes regions on the Mid North Coast of NSW, Australia. The Kiwarrak Mountain Bike Park has grown into nearly 70 km of hand-cut mountain bike specific single trail. 

In 2010 the Glacier Country Mtb Club in Franz Josef, South Westland constructed 1.7 km of flowing single track, named the Faultline Track. Fast forward to 2022 and a feasibility report into a four-day 154 km cycling trail from Ōkārito Lagoon to Fox Glacier has been released.

The Carterton Mtb Park was set up by a group of enthusiastic volunteers in 2008. Many working bees have resulted in 2.1 km of trail, two loops and a small skills area. In 2023 the Wairarapa Multisport Club organised a pre winter working bee to get the tracks back into shape.

The Golden Bay Mtb Club has churned out quality single track in the Canaan Downs Scenic Reserve over the years. The Club collaborates with Jonathan Kennett and Project Rameka, another Ground Effect Slush Fund recipient.

The Firepit Pump Track and Dirt Jump Park at Ngatimoti in the Motueka Valley opened in 2011. It's the ideal place to brush up your bike handling skills or add a few more tricks to your quiver.

Gippsland Mtb Inc. in Victoria maintains the Blores Hill trail network. Constructing new berms, rock armouring and improving drainage are all part of the work of the volunteers.

Over a decade ago Bike Taupō was given the green light by the then Ministry of Tourism to complete the 88 km Great Lake Trails on the western shores of Lake Taupō. The 88 km Great Lakes Trails are part of Ngā Haerenga New Zealand Cycle Trails network.

A small group of volunteers are always busy maintaining the trail network based in the Centennial Reserve on the southern slopes of Mt Crawford in the Wellington suburb of Miramar. The Slush Fund helped out with some tools right back at the beginning of the project.
