Trail Update 6 September - Nelson Mountain Bike Club

TRAIL UPDATE – 6 September

Two weeks on and we are inching forward. Some areas are still a total “no-go” while the land remains unstable, but by the weekend we are hopeful much more will be open.

Please continue be patient and adhere to any signage and taping. There will be big repercussions for all of us if you don’t, so be a legend, not a loser.

Areas Outside Nelson City to Ride

Work is underway on the Coppermine up to Bullock Spur. Once this is clear, the top sections of Te Ara Koa, Butters and Fringed Hill can open. Fingers crossed this can happen soon!
