Duration: 
168 hours

Meeting Point: 

Rotorua Airport

Details:

The plan is to spend in and around Rotorua NZ riding some of the best trails in the world....

We would be looking at spending a week there riding/eating/drinking and having a good time.

Well I have been thinking about doing this trip for a while and opening it up to nobmob
So after having a chat with AIR NZ to organise a group discount, which they didnt offer I have decided I would organise the in NZ part of the trip.

You will need to book and pay for your own flights to NZ,Rotorua.

What I will organise:
Transport for the week (including bikes of course, I can get a bus that we should get 10 bikes into)
Accomodation from the 12th to the 19th Dec
I will organise a day of shuttles for the group.
We can sort out food etc when we get there.
I have done a quick budget and have worked out the cost per head would be $450 plus flights to Rotorua. this cost would include transport for the week, accomodation a day of shuttles and food and some basic refreashments.

I will hopefully organise a day with a couple of locals to show us some of their favorite trails.
I would see us spending 3 days in the Whaka forest on our own , one day doing shuttles, a day trip to taupo. possibly include one day of riding on more un-manicured trails (epic day out)
The great thing about Rotorua is you can ride for as long or as short as you want and town coffee/food/beer is only a short ride away.

Due to the lack of a group booking option for the flights this trip will go ahead with what ever number can make it up to 10 people!

Any questions fire away.

Rob, tienster, ar_junkie, Carlgroover, Greg P, Pratiwi, Hans, Supagav, jdb, v (10 riders)

Rob Already planning an encore Wow! What can you say about this trip... this place... that can do it justice? I guess you really can't so this will probably seem a bit short: It seems like an age ago that a very brave Supagav posted up this trip and left it open to all....

Were you there and have a story to tell?
