Trail: Trail Blazer Dates Set

Posted: Tue 20 Mar 2007

SUZUKI TRAIL BLAZER DATES NOW SET FOR 07.

Looking for some winter berm blasting action on trails with plenty of traction? Then the Suzuki Trail Blazer series is just the ride for you. Kicking off in May, the Trail Blazer series will involve 4 rides with the July ride being a 2 day affair.

The 5 round series held in 06 was a hit with central North Island trail riders with an average of 400 riders blasting around the pumice trails located off State Highway 5 between Taupo and Rotorua.

The rides will take place either side of SH5 to keep things interesting. The 2 day ride will use different tracks each day.

The rides will be held May to August. The price has had to be increased by $5 this year to pay for increased land access and security costs. However the good news for families is that the kids price has decreased.

There will be another Epic trail ride held 8-9 September with the venue yet to be announced so don't plan to hang up your boots in August.
