๏ธ The Kaimanawa Descent.
This ride did not disappoint! We were advised to stop and take in the views and we took every opportunity to take it all in! ๐๐ผ
This grade 3 track is recommended for intermediate to advanced riders. But honestly, this was only my third time mountain biking and Deken's first - so as 'beginners' we found this ride challenging, rewarding and lots of fun!
Gareth of course loved it, and sped down the final 10km bush track getting back 20 minutes before Deken and I!
Highlights: The helicopter ride up, the scenery and the company ๐๐๐ผ
Low-lights: All the times we fell off the bike / track / mountain ๐
๐
Recommendation: Go when the track is dry. Unless you're an advanced rider who likes slips, slides and speed. Definitely take an e-bike.
