Scenic ride

Scenic ride along gravel trail. Great, thoughtful host. Some mountain-biking experience helpful but trail is basically just rolling hills along crystal blue river and lake
Gorgeous bike adventure!

Beautiful bike ride!! Excellent bikes. David the owner drove us and the bikes to the start of the track. His instructions on how to use the bikes was super helpful. It was stunning biking along the lakes and rivers. Unfortunately it was too cool to swim but on a hot sunny day it would be perfect to stop and swim.
Fantastic experience

Fantastic views and great bikes. Really good instruction on the route and back up from James. If you’re not used to cycling far then opt for an e-bike. Great trails, a bit challenging in places.
Great e-bike ride!

Very fun ride. Loved that it was self guided but the operator jimjack gave us all the info we needed for a great ride.
Challenging, but beautiful.

The meeting address given was closed for the 9 am ride so that was confusing. Look around the area for the black NZ van with bike trailer. Trail is quite bumpy and narrow in spots, just go slow.
