A popular mountain bike ride fundraiser has a new name, but will feature all of the old ride’s fun, says organiser David Turner.
Formerly known as the Rotokare Loop Mountain Bike Trail, the newly named Rotokare Ripper is an annual fundraiser organised by the Eltham Lions Club.
David says it’s a great way to see rural South Taranaki.
“This is a private track that is only open for our event. It has amazing scenery views as people ride around the Old Lake Road heading towards Lake Rotokare.”
There will be two loops on the day, both starting at the Rawhitiroa Pools and taking riders over farm races, grass paddocks, grass/dirt tracks and gravel and tar seal roads.
