That’s right, it’s AGM time. The time of year the Committee looks back at what we’ve achieved and invites you to join us in looking ahead to set out a plan for the next 12 months. At the AGM on Tuesday 6 November, we will be deciding what events and social rides to run, welcoming new committee members and setting our priorities for the next 12 months. We’d love to see as many of you there as possible.
I’ll circulate an agenda in a few weeks to set out what we’re voting on. In the meantime, feel free to email secretary@aucklandmtb.co.nz with your ideas and nominations for committee roles (President, Secretary, Treasurer).
AGM Date: 6 November – 7pm start
Venue: The Dominion Pub at 234 Dominion Road
Free beer and pizza for all!
As the proverb goes, many hands make light work and we do our best to make it fun at the same time. Whether you are keen to find some bike mates to plan an epic adventure, just want to lead the odd social ride or have a great idea for something new we can offer, I encourage you to think about how you can get involved.
OK on to the recap bit… This year we welcomed 2 new committee members who added a much-needed enthusiasm boost. The team has done a great job at delivering bike related stuff for Auckland riders and often with a skeleton crew. Check out some of the highlights.

Thanks to everyone who raced, and all our volunteers without whom these races just wouldn’t happen!
While there is still a lot of work to do on the trail, Barking Mad is officially open! Just take it carefully because at the moment it is far more technical than anything else at Arch Hill. Merry Christmas and Happy Riding everyone!
