"What's special about Wairoa Gorge is that it feels like backcountry riding, but with an uplift service, trails that everyone can ride, and places to stay afterwards. The Gorge has a reputation for being a gnarly place to ride, but it doesn't deserve it. The numbers alone bear that out. It should have a reputation for being a hidden valley full of adventure, a chance to bond with people, and one of the best weekends away riding you have in New Zealand, if not the world." SPOKE magazine

Nelson City Council, Ngāti Koata and Tasman Pine Forests Ltd (TPFL) have contracted a team of professional hunters, Trap and Trigger Ltd, to carry out a cull of wild goats, pigs and deer across our front and back country reserves.

This year’s cull will take place Wednesday 1 May to Saturday 18 May and will require the full closure of reserves.

Warning signs and/or barriers will be in place at entry points for each reserve.

Please read the full details on the NCC webpage: https://our.nelson.govt.nz/stories/annual-front-and-back-country-cull-begins-in-may/

So where can you ride??
It can be confusing to know when and where you can ride during the annual cull so here is some further info:

Sharlands - Only the Maitai Face trails are open at the moment. Please access these from the new Maitai Climbing trail, opposite the second carpark at the Waahi Taakaro Golf Course.

Closed Monday - Friday for the culling operation: All of Codgers, Codgers Maitai, Fringed Hill, and Coppermine.

Closed 24/7 for the culling operation: Black Diamond, Black Diamond to Third House link, Sunrise Ridge East and West, Peaking Ridge, Whaimana, Mutleys, Cranknstein, Right Crank, 629, Involution, and E Tū.

Open weekends (from midnight Friday until 11.59pm Sunday's): Codgers, Codgers Maitai, Coppermine, FDH, Butters, Te Ara Koa and Classic.

Other: Wairoa Gorge Bike Park is riding so well at the moment, Cable Bay is open, head out to Kaiteriteri and enjoy a ride and an Autumn swim or pop to Silvan or Richmond.

Due to increasing fire risk, Tasman Pine Forests have closed their forests for all recreational activities until further notice.

Fortunately, there are heaps of trails and parks still open👇

🚴Where to ride?🚴

We are so lucky with the number of mountain bike parks within 1 hour of central Nelson. Even with the current trail closures (all Tasman Pine forests are closed due to fire risk) there are so many great places to ride. We are also lucky that many of our trails can be accessed from multiple different points which allows access even when Tasman Pine Forests are closed.

Why not check out the following places:

✅Wairoa Gorge Bike Park
✅Codgers Reserve (Front side only)
✅Fringed Hill Trails via the Classic (only from the FDH skid only as Fringed Hill rd is closed)
✅629 trails accessed via the Maitai and NCC land only.
✅Black Diamond/Sunshine etc accessed via third house
✅Involution
✅Coppermine Trail
✅Silvan Forest
✅Cable Bay Adventure Park
✅Kaiteriteri Mountain Bike Park

Have a great weekend and keep doing your rain dances🌂🌧💦
