R&R Sport Black Stump Adventure Ride
Every year riders brave the legendary Black Stump course in the rugged Hakarimata Ranges at Glen Massey. The Black Stump has become one of New Zealand’s iconic mountain bike rides. There are four different length rides to cater for all levels, novice to the super fit; a single-speed class and team events, there is something for everybody.
Black Stump is a unique off-road experience. This is the real deal. If you enjoy mountain biking, then the Black Stump is a must-do event. This event is not called the “Toughest ride this side of the Black Stump” for nothing.
Come along and see what it’s all about!

Movies at the Old School
SEWN (which is an acronym for south east west north), is the title of the first New Zealand-made longboarding film in over a decade. SEWN will be shown over the 2011/2012 summer around New Zealand at a number of venues including cinemas, pubs, wineries, and maraes. Directed and produced by award-winning French filmmaker and longboarder Nicolas Brikke, who has been based in New Zealand for more than five years, SEWN takes us south, east, west and north around the four stunning coasts of the North Island of New Zealand. On each coast, we meet up with a surfer from an older generation who came through the shortboarding revolution, yet remained true to the longboard. We’ll also meet a surfer from a younger generation who lives and surfs with a similar spirit and passion. SEWN shows that to be a surfer in New Zealand is to have an intrinsic connection to the land, sea and surf through the Maori meanings behind landmarks and place names www.sewn.co.nz for more info!
Licensed bar and delicious homemade snacks also available. Ph 825 0023 to reserve seats
