Wellington Bike Swap
- Get Lost Cycling
- Love hanging out with your friends and piles of vintage bike parts? Then you would have loved the 2024 Wellington Bike Swap! While it rained outside the Tararua Tramping Club served as the perfect space for the local bike community to come together and buy, sell and swap their old bike parts. Whether you were looking for a particular component or just keen to add to your ever-growing parts bin there was something for everyone. Carbon cranks jostled for space with moto-x handlebars and vintage derailleurs creating a overwhelming but somehow cohesive jumble of colours and textures.

- Planting season is in full swing! We had the final Kohanga planting and we also finished off the lower exclosure and area between the exclosures! The weather played ball and the WORD turnout in the afternoon was impressive (and also productive).

Smokin gets some long overdue love

If you’re starting out mountain biking, Smokin is a great option for helping progress onto intermediate trails. It’s a gentle gradient with no scary drop offs on the side of the trail to distract you! This work is particularly focussed on improving the switchbacks and the flow by rebuilding berms to allow riders to safely carry more speed as they improve their skills. Thanks to Wellington City Council for funding this work as part of their commitment to Mākara Peak. Check out Smokin on Trailforks at https://www.trailforks.com/trails/smokin-20917 Help us do more great things at Mākara Peak by signing up to the Trails Wellington app or donate at https://givealittle.co.nz/org/makarapeak The track is still raw in places, so take care. Maybe even stay off it, if too wet, especially if the forecast is a bit dodgy.
