Option: Shuttle Bus to top trails

On our seventh (last) day in Rotorua, Greg and I decided to try out the shuttle bus (runs Tue, Thur, Sat + Sun) to the top of the trails.

You can gain approx 500 metres in altitude to some of the best trails in a 20 min bus ride. Tickets are $ 30 for 5 rides (you can share tickets).

The HTFU boys and girls however rode the climb up Hill road...again... Eye-wink

This is a custom made 36'er from Kiwi bikes, a local Rotorua based frame builder and overall nice chap!

All part of the amazing bike culture present in Rotorua!

Rotorua City route...around the geysers and hot springs

There is a well signposted track around all the hot thermal areas, only 5 mins from Rotorua's city centre

The sign warns that the crusty soil behind the fence may look stable, but is only 2 cm's thick with boiling water underneath....
