Land OwnerNew Plymouth District Council
The first half of Mandatory was built in 3 working bee's over 8 days. The second half was built using TSB Community Trust money. It's a tribute to what can be achieved with local funding and volunteers motivated enough to move a heap of gorse and dirt, and build a sweet track.
Last rebuilt in Feb 2023 by Jonky Vink with funding from NPMTB.
Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.
The track is wide but has many rollers, table tops and steeply bermed corners.
