It's All Goin' On.
It's all goin' on at Whitehills.
There’s over 20 tracks, events, shuttles, track- building crews and YOU!.
As summer turns to winter there are new tracks , new features and new challenges. They're now mostly signposted, graded and updated on Trailforks but conditions can vary, especially after rain. Keep safe - tell someone where you are going, ride with a mate and work your way up to bigger challenges.
Next to the new challenging tracks there is a focus on getting a few more grade 3s to open up areas to intermediate riders and to keep people riding over the winter. Come along and give a hand.

There are now several hunters with permits who hunt regularly amongst tracks. Our track area is open for hunters every Wednesday – all day and the first Saturday of each month . Please stay away or ride somewhere else so they can keep the pigs and goats under control.
Northland Tai Tokerau Regional Trails Project
This is a new region-wide project aiming to get some enthusiasm and dollars to get an 800km regional walking and biking trail network underway. There's been lots of reports and plans over the years but little action - this new project wants to make stuff happen. It would be awesome to have some local input.
If this is your thing, get in touch northlandregionaltrails@gmail.com
