Ten Years in Pōneke – Part Three (AN EGG HUNT RETROSPECTIVE)
- The Wellingtonista

I love a little quest, […]

T3 Track Blog

The track will be two-way and is designed to be grade 5 techical downhill and a grade 5-6 technical uphill. The track will contain between 16 and 18 manmade and natural obstacles along the way. The track will hopefully be something that people can hone their skills on and attack with the attitude of "I'll clear it this time"
