Whaka Weekly McWeekface Friday, 27 November - Thursday, 3 December Weather: Saturday looks good. Light rain Sunday and more on Monday. Trail happenings: • The Corridor refurbishment is done and looking epic. We have kept it closed during this bad weather. Please, please don’t ride if closed. We will reopen as soon as we can. Also, don’t walk on the new features. We know you just want to ride them again and get the shots for the ‘gram but don’t walk on the soft ground. Ride up the road and send it again from the top. • The refurbishment love has moved on to Katore Jumps! It will take a few days. It will also stay closed overnight, the gold just needs some time to settle, especially with this heavy rain. • We completed maintenance and vegetation cutting or spraying on Old Exit, Tokorangi Face (forest Loop), Forest Loop - Mudpool Link, New Exit. • Adopters and volunteers have been busy working on Apumoana, Creek, Phillips Rd, Verry Safe Trail, Challenge Exit, Rock Drop Logging: • Timberlands logging continues and a new section begins on Monday.

The Rotorua trails are pure magic right now. I hope you all have a safe and happy weekend under Level 2. Free coffee to the first person to come into the shop and tell me where this photo was taken. #rotoruamtb #whakarewarewa #mountainbike #mtb #newzealand #rotorua #singlespeed #steelisreal #herodirt #rotoruagold #sometimesthebigbikeneedssometimeoff
Ever wonder what an hour and a half of trail building looks like in 90 seconds*? Amazing how the gold dirt appears. Watch Casey speed along in the digger; no wonder he is tired at the end of the week. Happy Friday! Have a great weekend on the trails (just not this one because it isn't finished yet!) *The full 90 seconds is on our YouTube channel #WhakaTrails #rotoruatrailstrust #TrailBuilding #mtb #trails #RotoruaGold
The summer dust is long gone, but the the sun is shining, and it’s the weekend!!! Who’s going riding? #rotoruagold #whakarewarewa #mountainbiking #mtb #skids with @mikeandmaryride 📸 @mrezra
Last season, the crew behind @elevatetrailbuilding next-leveled the Crankworx Rotorua Slopestyle in Memory of McGazza course. Paying homage to the legend, McGazza’s features remained the same, but hits like the second feature became a "dirt-to-dirt shark fin which is a little more technical to trick." Builder, Tom Hey said "It’ll be a bit better for the guys that’ve got good flow, rather than just the huckers." . How should it shape up in 2019? . | 📷 @FraserBrittonPhoto | . #McGazzaForever #RotoruaGold #HeroDirt #Crankworx #Rotorua #Slopestyle

Awesome dig this morning! Cheers to @_tobycarr for being the only person to show up, you're the man bro! Got all the bottom jumps looking rideable again, as well as a lip up top and a few bumps. Boner log landing also looks much better after a bit of tweaking! Keep in mind these digs happen every 2 weeks- second Saturday of each month and 4th Sunday of each month. If you're eager to hit the gaps please wait a couple days till they harden up a bit. #butter #somanyleaves #rotoruagold #dirtjumps
