And just like that... the season is over 🤯

TTBRC would like to extend a MASSIVE thanks to everyone who played a part in running the season this year, including the many riders who turn up every month to ride.

It was a fantastic season, and we can't wait to do it all again next year. There is so much that goes on behind the scenes, and we're always on the lookout for more people to get involved, and help run these amazing rides. So if you're keen to lend a hand next season, flick us a message. (Volunteers get to ride for free at our events, in addition to attending working-bees, where we test out the new track before anyone else!)

Many of you have been asking where you can find the photos from our rides this year. They can be found and purchased through Darren Stanley on his website: https://events.darrenstanleyphotography.com/

Cheers everyone, see you again next year!

Our LAST RIDE of the year is THIS SUNDAY, and trust us... you won't want to miss it.

We've got a 25km main loop, with additional 8 expert loops for those wanting a challenge. An 11km novice loop, with a 3km short cut loop back to the pits, and an awesome p*e wee track for the young ones.

It's been an EPIC season so far, and this weekend is looking to be the perfect send-off. So gather your mates, and join us for an awesome day of riding.

Unfortunately we won't have the food trailer this time but we will be putting on a BBQ sausage sizzle. For additional details, flick us a message or check out SilverBullet (link in comments).

Can't wait to see you there!

Today we were privileged and honored to have had Bruce Burgess attend our August ride.
Bruce is the man that started it all 50 years ago in the mid 1970's. Bruce last rode a dirt bike at a ripe age of 74 years young, now that's a pretty good stint and what's more amazing is that Bruce will be turning 100 years young next year.
He had many stories to tell and was as sharp as a tin tack.
So on behalf of the club ( TTBRC ) we would like to thank you for all your hard work so many year's ago and the team that put together so many awesome rides.
The Tarawera T100 was also conceived in the 1970's and it was the one endurance race to win . All the best riders came from afar to test there skills against the track and each other, whomever won the T100 had bragging rights till the following year.
Cheers Bruce Burgess your a true legend to the sport of trail riding.

Evening all. Unfortunately, due to adverse weather conditions, including heavy rain and strong winds, the committee made the difficult decision early this morning to cancel today's ride.

We sincerely apologise to everyone who travelled from near and far. Please understand that we are a small team of dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to make these trail rides happen.

Today, despite the cancellation, we still went out to check the tracks and pack down all of our preparations, as we only have weekend access to the venue to complete this work.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped out today, and thank you all for your understanding and support. This was not an easy decision to make, but the safety of everyone involved always comes first.

We truly appreciate your continued support and look forward to seeing you all at our next ride in August.
