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 50+ km of single-track plus forest roads, located in the Esk Valley 15 minutes drive north of Napier.

We lost most of our trail network in Cyclone Gabrielle February 2023. A huge effort by contractors and volunteers established a new network of tracks in the Waipunga Block during 2023-2024, 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

Please don't ride the single-track during or immediately after rain. Check the rain gauge, and give it time for the rain to soak in before you ride. If you must ride in the wet stick to the gravel roads.

NO BBQs in the carpark and no smoking at any time.

NEW TRACKS: now open!

Gabby: Link track from Beam Me Up to the hub at the top of Twoman. Great for easy access to some short lower down loops - Malt, Barley and Sugar, and down Twoman to Mrs Whippy.
