Welcome, Haere Mai...

You are are welcome in our town, anytime and especially for the
Singlespeed Worlds in October, 2010.
Our country is a friendly, benign place...
_{Top Canadian mountain bike cross country racer, Geoff Kabush's comment about New Zealand is right:
no big bears, no cactus, no snakes, no poisonous spiders. 
Being from Canada and living part of the year in the southwest of the USA, Geoff knows what he is talking about.
To be honest, we do have a poisonous spider - the Katipo - but you are more likely to be run over by a bus than encounter one of these!}

<sub>• There are plenty of options to get to our place from USA, Europe, Asia and Australia.
