Queens Birthday Weekend saw Pioneer Motorcycle Club run the 76th edition of the Kaikoura 3 Day trial. The Club was rewarded with a large entry of 93 riders from across New Zealand including 5 Sidechairs, 9 Twin Shocks, 9 Women, and 8 Junior riders. Day 1 was at Birches Road south of Kaikoura featuring creek sections, grassy sections and mud. Considering it is June the weather was warm with no frost. A frost did greet us for Day 2 at Dairy Flat reached after travelling a short distance along the Inland Road. Easier sections on the second day combined with a longer loop saw many happy faces. Day 3 was again fine with no frost for the last day at Mt Fyffe. For the upper grades the creek sections were the most challenging day. It was great to have three fine and warm days for Kaikoura after having some rain on the last day last year. Prize giving was held at the Whaler in Kaikoura before everyone departed for home. Overall winner of Expert was Jason Baker with a well deserved win. Thanks to everyone who travelled to the event. The Club has had some great feedback, and looks forward to hosting you all again next year. Enjoy Lynette's photos.
