NZ Transport Association national cycling manager Dougal List presents mayor Steve Chadwick and deputy mayor Dave Donaldson with the trophy and certificate.
Rotorua's Whakarewarewa Forest may now be easier to find, after a new sign pointing people in the direction of the country's most loved adventure forest was gifted to the city.
The sign was presented as a trophy by NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) national cycling manager Dougal List to deputy mayor
Dave Donaldson yesterday, after the forest was voted New Zealand's favourite Off-Road/Adventure Ride and NZ's Favourite Place to Cycle for the second year running.
Mayor Steve Chadwick joked the signs should be placed all over town to point people in the right direction.
Mr Donaldson said he was surprised the trophy came in the form of a road sign.
"We didn't know the nature of the trophy until it was unveiled today so a bit of careful thought will go into where it goes up but we are certainly stoked with the look of it, it is fantastic ... clearly it'll be pointing people in the direction of the cycle trails but exactly how we use it is something we will think about and crack on with pretty smartly."
