Wow, what a weekend hey!! We’d like to thank all riders (and your families!) for helping make the Bike Buller MTB festival so darn good. We were very happy with the event and with beautiful weather, good trails and great riding we all had a terrific time. We hope you got home safely and if you are looking for another equally awesome MTB event we can only recommend the Ingkerreke Commercial MTB Enduro over May 13-17 in Alice Springs. Happy riding.
