    • A bit of overnight rain made the trails at Tunnel Gully a wee bit spicy, but it was always the entertaining side of slippery (well, mostly), and the sunny warm day was appreciated As always, the crew from NtrailZ put on a great show, with plenty of spot prizes from supporters Angry Bear and the Cycle Centre.

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.

• • Exhibition expert to impassioned park ranger

    • 25 Nov 2021
    • Wellington City Council
    • Being kaitiaki to 250 hectares of regenerating native bush and 50 kilometres of first-rate mountain bike track is a world away from life on the road as an exhibition specialist. But five weeks ago Mark Kent left his role as Exhibition Touring and Project Manager after 21 years at Te Papa to become Mākara Peak’s first-ever dedicated Park Ranger – and he’s loving it. “This new position has been years in the planning, with the role created to support the community, especially the Mākara Peak Supporters who are particularly active in the park.”
