Trail Ride Rules
These rules apply at all our Charity Trail Rides - you will be handed a copy at sign-in. By entering an event, you agree to comply with rules as listed here, given at rider briefing, or as set down by Motorcycling NZ.
Verbal Briefing – it is compulsory for all participants to attend; it is supplementary to these rules.
Wristbands – wear these on your wrist so they are visible at the start of the ride.
Follow the arrows and stay on the marked trail. Track markers as shown on the yellow board.
Do not ride in reverse around the track under any circumstances.
Leaders are wearing bright orange vests – do not pass them on the lead loop.
Obey Marshals at all times – marshals are wearing yellow vests.
Be courteous to other riders on the track. No roosting/stoning. Idiots will NOT be tolerated.
Pits/Carpark - SLOW in pits – 1st gear only. No wheel spinning, wheelies, speeding etc. Farmers see this idiot behaviour.
Toolkit and spares for your bike are to be carried. 2 strokes carry spare spark-plug/spanner. Quads we suggest carrying a tow-rope.
Compulsory Clothing - helmets, motorcycle boots, gloves, long sleeved shirts, and sturdy pants must be worn on the track. No excuses. No gumboots or ankle height work boots. If in doubt please ask.
Track numbers – numbers are situated around the track so we can pinpoint a location in case of emergency/breakdown. Please take a mental note of these as you go around. They do not indicate km’s.
Adults are to stay with their kids on the main track and ride behind. They are the parents responsibility.
First Aid Kits – there are red bum bag kits being carried around the track, plus one first aid kit at the kids track – please ask if you need to use it.
Helmets - must be worn at all times when riding.
Pillion riders – are not permitted.
Lunch – one lunch is provided per paying rider. Your wristband is required to get lunch.
Rubbish – take yours with you or put in allocated bins if provided.
Strictly no smoking in any bush or forestry areas on or off the track.
Breakdowns - stay with your bike and let a marshal know or have another rider advise someone at the carpark. Be patient. Broken down bikes are collected as/when time allows, or after the track closes.
Kids/Learner Track - the track is supervised, but we are not a babysitting service. A childs parent or associated adult should be present. Kids are not to ride around the carpark unsupervised. Ride the designated track, or not at all. Kids track riders must obey the marshals at all times. No riding on the kids track if you have been out on the main track.
