for the 10 th anniversary of the NZ Ihatove Adventure Trial , which will be held on February 8-10 , 2019 . The Olivers are starting starting preparations for this event already . Organiser Stephen Oliver said , “ 2019 may be the last opportunity to experience this popular adventure , as I will be treating the 10 th anniversary as the final event , and wish to make it a very memorable occasion for everyone involved . To help make this happen I ask for your support in sending Deborah and myself an indication of whether you will be joining us . It is also very important to book now for next year ’ s accommodation as the Nelson region can be very busy during summer . The earlier we can get everything organised , the bigger and better we can make this special event ; and we look forward to it being another tick off your bucket list . “ My guarantee to you is nice , natural , flowing sections leaning towards the easy side , spectacular trails with the famous Ihatove scenery , and an enjoyable time so that everyone heads home happy . We cater for all levels of riders without taking ourselves too seriously , and that way we keep the Ihatove spirit , and a fun weekend will be had by all . We welcome everyone who shares this aspiration to please join the Ihatove family in 2019 .” Peter Elliott had this to say after last year ’ s Ihatove Trial , “ I have just returned from three days of fantastic riding experience in Nelson . This was my third Ihatove , I rode better and continued to improve with useful tips , coaching and encouragement from others . Every year I make new friends and spend three days doing what I love with like-minded souls who are there to help and encourage and inevitably , cheerfully take the piss .” Sound like fun ?
