GUIDED TRAIL RIDES
Kiwi enduro guru Sean Clarke is running a series of Guided Trail Rides for the second half of 2010, starting next weekend.
The rides will start at Tar Hill, south of Tokoroa, and travel cross country to Whakamaru and return.
It will be up to 150 kilometres per day without hardly doing the same track twice.
The ride will follow trails that were used for the 2006 ISDE and trailride tracks in the area and will be suitable for Intermediate to Expert level riders — Sorry, no novice riders.
Each ride will be limited to 25 riders per day.
Dates are:
* July 24
* August 28
* September 25
* October 30
* November 27
Start Time 9.30 on the bikes and finish between 3 and 4pm.
Cost $100 per day per rider.
Lunch and transport of fuel will be supplied.
Riders must bring and full tank of gas and a spare 15 litres.
This ride is really great fun with great views and awesome tracks that are in the area. Each ride will vary as different tracks are reopened.
Most of the tracks are single trail in the trees with a few firebreaks and roads in between to link it all up.
The maximum amount of riders has been set at 25 so the ride can keep moving along. Riders have to regroup every now and then but stops are kept to a minimum.
So if you are keen to have a go email Sean Clarke at foresttrailevents@xtra.co.nz and he will confirm your entry and send you payment details.
