Waiheke: Mountain Bike Sampler

This event is by Cycle Action Waiheke. Registration required.

Are you mountain bike curious? Do you have a bike but don’t know how to get started trail-riding? Do you look longingly at the bush-clad hills of Onetangi Sports Park and wish you could get amongst it on two wheels? Mountain biking is so much fun – it’s great for physical and mental health, gets you out into nature, and is so exciting and exhilarating (NOT scary – unless you want it to be!). Come along to our Mountain Bike Sampler day at Onetangi Sports Park and give it a go with guidance from experienced riders. We’ll start with some basic skills on the field before hitting the Grade 1 Family Track for a couple of laps. Then we can break into two groups – those who want to head up the hill for something more adventurous can do so, while those happy to keep practicing on the Family Track can stick with that. No one will be left behind or pressured to do anything they are not comfortable with.

Riders of all ages are welcome. You will need a bike in reasonable condition (preferably with front suspension) and a helmet. And water!

Please make sure that you check your and your children’s bikes in advance, and bring them to Bike Hub for maintenance if necessary. We can’t bring kids out with bikes that don’t work, and don’t want to disappoint on the day!
