The Kaikōura 3 day trial was held at King’s Birthday weekend and attracted 61 solo riders and 7 sidechairs from across New Zealand. This was the 80th year that this trial has been run since it began in 1946.
As usual we rode at three properties over the weekend starting with Trewin’s Farm at Birches Rd, Oaro on Day 1, a return to Rakanuiat Peketā on Day 2, and finished at Schroder’s Farm under Mt Fyffe on Day 3. Many thanks to the property owners and those who went up the week before and set the sections.
The weather was kind again this year with no rain or frosts (That is 2 years in a row!) This meant the properties were as dry as we have seen them. The sections on the first two days were fairly straightforward, however on Day 3 the sections were more difficult, especially for Green and Yellow, so getting a good result meant being at your best on Day 3. The three best things about the weekend were:
1.The great support from families with 11 families having two generations of riders taking part.
2.The top two riders in Red (T2) both being Junior riders. Zack Furniss took out Day 1 overall, Finn Pearce won Day 2, so both were tied at the end of Day 2, then Zack managed to win Day 3 becoming the youngest Expert and Overall Winner of Kaikoura at age 12. Congratulations to both these young riders who showed great skills.
3.The sidechairs which always provide some entertainment. It’s great to watch, though seems a way to make covering offroad terrain more difficult.
Thanks to everyone who supported the event, especially those who travelled from the North Island or the Deep South. It is great to have you join us for the weekend.
Next year will be the 80th Anniversary of the first event held in 1946. We hope you can join Pioneer next year to celebrate this milestone.
Special thanks to Lynette for the photos, despite still recovering from a knee injury that still limits her mobility.
