Our annual Funduro is coming up. Make a note of this on your calendar.

Maraetai Forest
Save this date for the PCBC Funduro. We have some great stages lined up this year plus beer, pizza and spot prizes.
A fantastic day in the forest racing your mates..
Can you help on the day or bring a family member/friend who can? Let us know. Email pohutukawabike@gmail.com
More details coming soon…..
Bad News I’m afraid. We have just been told by management that Maraetai will close sometime in the next few weeks for a couple of months so they can log the remaining stand of pines west of the main forest road. We had hoped that the Whitford Block would re-open during that time but they have now decided to keep a logging crew there. We have tried to negotiate weekend access but to no avail. We will also need to postpone the Funduro so double bummer.
We will extend the 19/20 season until May to compensate for the weeks lost to riding-thus 20/21 passes won’t be needed until 1 June. Our good friends out at 440 Bike Park are helping us out as well and all PCBC members will have free use of the Up tracks while Maraetai is closed (just show your membership sticker)
So sorry, major bummer when its all come together so well, but out of our control-and we'll re- open again soon ASAP -and there’s no more pines to log...!!
Hmmmm, there maybe a catch if you get offered a free season’s pass by the jolly folk out at 440...
Where’s Wally? Be careful on the new trails - in a year or two there will be a protective layer of scrub that’s grown but at the moment it’s a long way down in places
