Everyone has a different perception of what cycling or mountain biking is, so we'll try our best to clarify the type of riding you'll be doing down here with us. This is not a road cycling trip and we don't ride on asphalt or tarmac. Equally, this is not a downhill mountain biking trip or even a single track trip (by single track we mean on trails as wide as your handle bars). We've chosen gravel trails that are generally wide enough for two riders and mostly flat. New Zealand has an incredible off-road trail network and we believe our itinerary will get you onto the best parts of this network, with a few hikes sprinkled in for good measure!
