MOTU Trails Charitable Trust has seen a change in leadership, as cycling booms in popularity. Kathy Sheldrake has stepped down as chair of Motu Trails Charitable Trust after five years in the role. Steferl Gordon, also from Gisborne, has taken up the role of Chair of the trust. Ms Sheldrake joined Motu Trails Charitable Trust in 2011, soon after the formation of The New Zealand Cycle Trail, and before the Motu Trails were even officially open. She was also a trustee in the first term board of The New Zealand Cycle Trail. Almost a decade on, The New Zealand Cycle Trail is made up of 22 Great Rides and offers visitors and locals nationwide a broad range of cycling and walking options, from easy to advanced trails. The Motu Trails are one of the better-known Great Rides on The New Zealand Cycle Trail. Through a personal connection with Garth Barfoot of Barfoot and Thompson Auckland, Ms Sheldrake opened the way to Mr Barfoot donating a superb $150,000 to the Motu Trails Charitable Trust, with the key focus on making on-trail enhancements, such as a shelter on the hill above Motu settlement. “It was a good time for me to step down, because Motu Trails are now well-established and ready to move into a new stage,” Ms Sheldrake said. “I am looking forward to seeing how the trails develop in years to come.” As well as heading the Motu Trails team, Ms Gordon is on the committee of Gisborne Mountainbike Club and a trustee on the Gisborne Cycle and Walkway Trust. “Cycling has boomed in recent years and especially in the last year, which means RIDING ON: New Motu Trails Charitable Trust chair Steferl Gordon and Frankie, with former chair Kathy Sheldrake. demand for off-road trails is greater than ever.” Picture by Paul Rickard Another growth area was bike-packing, a modern spin on cycle touring.
