Due to the crappy weather, we will be making a decision by 7.30am Sunday morning whether Twin Peaks goes ahead - the carpark is the problem, not the track!

The infoline will be updated first, ph 0832 22 595 (12c per min). If the immediate message is not CANCELLED then it's still going ahead.

The website and facebook will be updated and soon after that as possible.

We're looking for a few people to help with marshalling on the main track at Twin Peaks on Sunday - if you can give us a hand please get in touch hmcc@kol.co.nz or phone 04 904 9800. Cheers :o)

Just a reminder folks...

GLOVES - they are compulsory.  NO GLOVES = NO RIDE. 

BOOTS - all riders of bikes 65cc and over must wear motorcycle boots, and yes this does apply to ATV/quad bike riders as well. 

TOOLS -  It's up to you to be as self sufficient as possible if you have a problem.  Please carry a kit of simple tools and spares, including a spark plug.  Your entry fee doesn't include a trackside fixit service! 

Many thanks to all you wonderful folk that come rearing to go with all the right gear, tools, and a smile at sign in.

Hi everyone - just a quick request to please bring your helmets with you to sign in from now on at all our trail rides.

As a safety mesaure, we will be checking overall condition of the exterior (no cracks/damage) and interior (intact), that chin straps are there and the locking mechanism works. We'll also check they are done up when you enter the track.

Thanks folks! :o)
