Off-Road Biking

This is a new group which aims to introduce U3A members who would like companions on the
region’s offroad gravel and mountain bike trails to laugh and learn together.
Members will be included on an email list, then a Whatsapp group, where a ride will be
proposed and those who wish to attend respond.
Suitable for regular and e-bikers with experience beyond riding our fabulous paved cycle trails
here.
Examples of gravel destinations include the Queen Elizabeth Park farm trails, Remutaka Cycle
trail, the Manawatu Cycleway, Otāki River, Waikanae River loop, East Harbour to Baring Head.
Local mountain bike areas within an hours drive include Whareroa Farm, Rangituhi Colonial
Knob, Makara Peak, Wainuiomata, Waimapihi, or Arapuke near Palmerston North.

Email the convenor if you are interested.
