In 1998 the Wellington City Council set aside 200 hectares of retired farmland in Karori southwest of Wellington , New Zealand for a mountain bike park. Development of the Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park began almost immediately with volunteer work parties planting trees and digging new tracks. By 2012 over 40 kilometres of hand built single track had been built and over 32,000 native seedlings planted. Pests such as goat s, sheep , and possum s had been dramatically reduced allowing new vegetation to flourish. The park is free to use and open to both cyclist s and pedestrian s. Approximately 30 of its users are pedestrians. The Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park was visited by 8 of the Wellington population in 2003 according to research carried out by the Wellington City Council. It has received a recreation award from the New Zealand Recreation Association and two Conservation ethic conservation awards from the New Zealand Department of Conservation .

orphan date June 2010 Refimprove date December 2009 The Trans Sylvania MountainBike Epic is a mountain bicycle stage race in Pennsylvania . The event is seven days in length and features the rocky, mountainous terrain of central Pennsylvania s multi use trails. Name Also known as TransSylvania Epic Transylvania Epic TSE The name Trans Sylvania is a reference to other mountainbike stage races such as Transrockies TransRockies and http www.bike transalp.de TransAlp . The Trans Sylvania Epic differs from these events in that it is based out of a central location whereas TransRockies and TransAlp are a continuous route between encampments and towns. The central location of the base camp relative to the course routes allows for minimal packing, transport, and travel for participants and staff. Also, compared to other mountainbike stage races, Trans Sylvania s courses are designed to appeal to a broad spectrum of ability levels instead of catering strictly to upper level racers. The inaugural running of the event was May 30 June, 2010 and it s base camp location is the Seven Mountains Boy Scout Camp just southeast of State College, Pennsylvania. The 2011 Trans Sylvania Epic will be held May 29 June 4, 2011. The base camp location will be the same, and the courses will be modified versions of the 2010 courses.
