My first time doing a multi day itinerary with an organised group. Not disappointed. A great bunch of people who fitted well together. Peter has planned a good itinerary, that seemed to suit most people. Good meals and accommodation. Good briefings each day. Strongly recommend.

I was part of the group riding from Waikaremaona to Rotorua, Labor weekend 2024. This part of New Zealand is remote but so worth a visit. The scenery is amazing, the gravel roads (and the sealed ones) very quiet and in excellent condition, the climbs were a comfortable gradient and the the descents were long and fun. Peter was a superb guide and host. He was knowledgeable, communicative and very…

It wasn't long and we were wall to wall green, gravel roads and so remote, the livestock grazed the long acre...just fabulous…
