Last Trail Blazer for 2005!

Posted: Mon 05 Sep 2005

Suzuki Trail Blazer Groomed and Expanded

650 riders had a blast last month on the new Suzuki Trail Blazer. They enjoyed honing around the free flowing pumice based trails near Taupo. However 650 bikes doing around 2 laps each of a 40km circuit does have some impact so…

We have graded the 40 km trail and found and made a new 10 km trail.

The 8.5 ton bulldozer operated by Mr Sean Clarke does a fine job of removing whoops, blading out ruts and even digging out stubborn stumps. All this work brings the track back to pristine condition ready for more fun.

And the new 10 km track will be a great fun shorter blast. Suitable for riders who just want a 15 minute ride to either warm up or end the day with.

The other new additions are a fund raising Barbeque by Broadlands School and Gourmet Coffee available to purchase on site. Just the thing to refuel the body.

And to keep your bike humming be in to win the random spot prize for a Spectro Oil pack.

This is the last Suzuki Trail Blazer for 2005 as we take a break for the forestry fire season, so come along and be part of a great ride.
