Come and experience an all day adventures (and yes we do mean all day.) We will pick you up, show you a great time, and them take you home with plenty of great memories. You bring your bike, the camera and all your kit. If you don’t have your bike with you, we can help you get an appropriate bike to bring out.
Because of the mixture and types of terrain in New Zealand,
we recommend compact gearing on your road bike (unless you have legs of iron)
and a full suspension mountain bike (130mm or so) and grippy tyres for your
mountain bike. High Volume tyres and a good range of gears are a good idea for
all of your adventures with us. We can offer advice about your needs and a
detailed gear list will be provided on booking/enquiries.
