A bit of ‘good old kiwi ingenuity’ by staff from Bourkes cycles at TORATORA

A bit of weed stuffing in the tube meant a flattie needn’t buggar up a days riding. Some good old kiwi ingenuity got the group back on track and allowed them to enjoy the gorgeous day here at TORATORA. A bit of homemade cake ensured the car journey back home did not involve Dave chewing off his arm! See you all again soon.

Millie – aged 9 years, youngest to complete ‘the Loop’ at TORATORA

Kathryn Elworthy — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 02:08:24 +0000

Our extremely determined daughter, whom may I add has been on a mountain bike only a handful of times, completed the 13km Loop at TORATORA on Sunday 18th September. This makes her the youngest ever to complete the the main Loop at TORATORA! She has riden the track 4 other times and only managed to get 1/3rd of the way around. With her Dad leading the charge, Millie pushed on and completed the Loop in just under 3 hours – a MAMMOTH effort from a nine year old!!
