Huge news for the Thames mountain biking community! Over the last month, the St John downhill trail in our Moanataiari network has undergone a massive upgrade, and it is officially complete and ready to ride!
A massive THANKYOU to The Lion Foundation for providing the grant that made this project possible. Community funding like this keeps our local trails thriving, and we are incredibly grateful for their support.
We also want to give a huge shout-out to the crew at Trailpro for their phenomenal work on the ground. The craft and effort they put into this upgrade is next level—you guys are going to love it!
**A Quick Note for Trail Care**
Because the trail surface is brand new and super fresh, it’s currently very susceptible to damage if ridden in the wet. To protect the hard work that’s gone into it, the trail will be closed immediately after rain to allow it to dry out properly. Once we hit spring and summer, the dirt will pack right down and we’ll be able to keep it open much more consistently. Please respect the closures so we can keep it in prime condition!
**Love the new ride? Support the Club!**
While our trails are 100% free for everyone to enjoy, running the club isn't! If you enjoy the trails and want to see more projects like this happen, please consider joining as an official member.
