The future of a lifesaving medical crew that quickly reaches injured mountain bikers in Rotorua s Whakarewarewa Forest is in jeopardy after ACC pulled its funding. The Rotorua Mountain Bike Club First Response Unit has been operating for more than three years and during that time has rushed to the aid of an estimated 1000 riders in strife.
But the club has just learned ACC will stop its funding from April next year.
