Come join us for a weekend of MTB fun in NZβs capital of mountain biking, RotoVegas (Rotorua). Think a mixture of pine trees & natives, with pumice soil that drains so well and offers grip in all conditions. The Redwoods are a massive forest that covers many hills with an extensive trail network that caters for all from beginners through to the most advanced riders. Add to that 2 shuttle buses which enable you to climb to the highest points. Youβll understand why they call this a MTB Mecca πSaturday is about all things retro; weβll join the Retro Ride, so dust the cobwebs off the old gal and remind yourself why modern bikes are soo much better! Weβll ride a variety of trails that suit these bikes. *modern bikes are still welcome as aware not everyone is like me & loves the β90s.
On Sunday weβll navigate the forest with the assistance of the shuttles, so to enable us to ride the better trails.
Saturdayβs riding location TBC. For Sunday
weβll meet at the Mountain Bike Rotorua Tarawera Rd car park around 9am, for the first shuttle which starts at 10am.
Weβll spend the day riding with a break for lunch in the middle (food truck & cafe options).
This ride is open to most, MTBing experience is required and weβll split into groups for each grade, so we can all have the fun we want.
Accommodation TBC weβll stay at either Thermal Springs Holiday Park or Blue Lake Top 10 (camping options too).
Saturday night weβll have a BBQ together for fun social times.

Come prepared with enough food to sustain many hours in the forest. Thereβs drink stations throughout the forest, so you can refill your water bottle. We have Leo our resident bike mechanic to fix any issues that arise.
Checkout MTB Rotoruaβs page for details and costs on the shuttles. Weβll plan to use about 5 shuttles each on the Sunday.

This is an all weather ride, soβll go ahead no matter what the forecast is, unless itβs a storm and then weβll postpone the ride.
