Have a go at mountain biking in Tunnel Gully, Pākuratahi Forest

Bring the whānau for a day of fun on wheels in the stunning Pākuratahi Forest, just north of Upper Hutt.  

Tamariki aged 7 and up can join guided rides and skills sessions designed especially for those new to mountain biking. 

Don’t have a bike? EkeRua ReBicycle will be there with kids bikes to borrow. 

Riders will explore trails in the pine forests and native bush of the Tunnel Gully Recreation Area. New riders can stick to easy trails and build their skills and fitness riding in the forest.  

Our adventure basecamp will have a sausage sizzle, games for the whānau, bike safety checks, and places to chill out for a picnic.  

This free summer event is delivered in partnership with NtrailZ (trailbuilders), WORD (youth mountain biking), and EkeRua ReBicycle (bicycle charity)
