The Roller-coaster
Last weekend saw a few of us get stuck in to the Roller-coaster section of the Main loop up at Canaan. A long overdue reboot to the end section of the Canaan Main loop. See pics below.  More photos on the Club Facebook page. (You don't have to be on Facebook) just google Golden Bay Mountain Bike Club on Facebook!
