The annual trail bike ride fundraiser for Maungaturoto Primary School is on Saturday February 26. The terrain is open sheep and beef farmland, with a few sections of bush. The ride is a main loop with three shortcuts home. For junior riders, there are two supervised tracks, a learners lap and an advanced rider loop. There is a section for expert two and four wheelers.
The trail ride is held on Don and Jackie McKay’s farmland, which they open to riders for the fundraiser. Funds raised this year will go towards the Year 5 & 6 Camp, which will be held at the Peter Snell Youth Village, in Whangaparaoa, next month.
An organiser Nyree Alcock says it’s a popular event that has been going for the past seven years. It attracts between 200 and 300 people, and raises about $5000.
“There is something for everyone’s level of riding,” Nyree says.
Info: 265 Whakapirau Road, Maungaturoto, 9am to 3pm. Kids track $10, main track $15 and adults $35. Contact Nyree Alcock 09 4319 040.
