TRAIL BUILDING...
 
The Rotorua trails are some of the best in the world...
A lot of people have contributed to the development of the network over the last 20 years. Most of our trails were built and are maintained by volunteers.
Work goes on. If you've got a bit of time, get involved with maintaining your trails, where ever you are...
Now, the International Mountain Bike Association's legendary guide is on video...
It's from the USA and we don't have bears but the general messages still apply and it makes interesting viewing...
You can also buy the IMBA's classic Trail Solutions guide book from the IMBA web site... Highly recommended.
