🚨 BRAND NEW TRAIL ALERT! 🚨

Something special is brewing deep in the Whakarewarewa Forest... 👀🌿

We're stoked to announce a NEW Grade 3 track is in the works — 100% hand-built by our Rotorua Trails Trust crew. That means no machines, just pure trail craft and sweat. And while it’s a Grade 3, expect it to ride a little spicier than usual. Think tight lines, natural flow, and all the good stuff you only get when the diggers are kept off. 💪

🕵️‍♀️ We’re keeping the exact location under wraps for now (no sneaky peeks please — it’s not ready yet!) but we can tell you it’ll be accessible from the top of Apumoana/Direct Road. ETA to completion: 4–6 weeks.

👉 Here’s where YOU come in:

We need a little help finishing this beauty — and in return, you get a chance to NAME THE TRAIL.
