Interested in riding in heaven?
Air NZ has some great flight deals at the moment - till 20 Jan, for flights over the next few months.

It is possible to get flights Sydney - Rotovegas return for $360. Fly in Saturday, ride for 4 days home on Tuesday.
If you are thinking of doing the World Single Speed C'ships in October, this deal goes through to then, so get in early.
I have details of accomodation in the forest if anyone is interested.

Prey tell... where is this accommodation?

For those thinking about it, there's loads of motels on Fenton St, about 3km (slightly uphill along a main road) from the Waipa State Mill Rd trail head. The other trail head at the visitors centre is off Tarawera Rd. This place is 500m from that junction (although it's maybe another 1km down to the trail head from there but that's along a quiet road) and looks a cheap option:

getting over to NZ for a bit of biking action, although not for SS.

Anyone potentially interested in going over for a long weekend?

The advantage of Air NZ is that they give you an extra 10kg allowance when you take a bike (so that's 30kg in total in economy). If you fly direct to Rotorua you skip the at 3-4 hour drive each way too - it's a no brainer.

Got my fingers burnt dealing with Air NZ a few years ago, worst service and ended up loosing $800. Swore I would never fly them again.
