Hawkes Bay Mountain Bike Club

Hawke's Bay Mountain Bike Club Incorporated (HBMTBC), was founded in 1991; gained full time access into the privately owned Pan Pac Tangoio Forest in 1995; and became an incorporated society in 1998. HBMTBC is affiliated to Mountain Bike New Zealand (MTBNZ) and is one of New Zealand’s largest cycling clubs.

The club’s ‘home’ is Pan Pac Mountain Bike Park, currently with 40+ km of single-track plus forest roads, located just 10 minutes drive north of Napier.

We lost much of our trail network in Cyclone Gabrielle February 2023. A huge effort by contractors and volunteers has established a new network of tracks in the Waipunga Block during 2023, as well as restoring tracks in The Replanted Block. Our previous home in the Mill Block is now permanantly closed.

Our Mission
To promote, facilitate, encourage and develop Mountain Biking in the Hawke’s Bay region.

TRACK STATUS

Update 23/7/24:

The park is VERY WET after prolonged rain and will take some time to dry out.

If you ride, consider sticking to the forest roads. Choose with care which tracks you attempt. If you're churning up the track surface or leaving ruts, you shouldn't be riding it.

Beam Me Up is CLOSED due to multiple slips - please use Magog Road instead to get to the top.

There is a large but passable slip on upper Klingon and rain ruts on Spud. Many other tracks have not been checked - please ride with caution.

WAIPUNGA BLOCK - Open.

Beam Me Up - closed

REPLANTED BLOCK - Open

TAIT BLOCK - Open
