You will be great Geoff, just stop for coffee half way. It has also seen a few improvements since this video.

See my comment, go for it. 4hr round trip from the thermal holiday park, plenty of stops to admire the view

That is great you enjoyed it, good to hear that the bikes suited it well. Thanks for watching.

I am so bad at the names I am afraid! The signs are now much better and the trail beside the green lake has now opened up so you get more fun single track and the views are stunning. So a great improvement.

@@jaselikesbikes Fantastic! Thank you, looking forward to it 🤩

Your welcome. Nice name change 👍

Hi David. Yes it is a great track for fitness, glad you liked the video and it was useful.

Yes it is good.Just the 7km next to SH5 would be good to avoid.

Agrees Rhys. I think I will keep doing it as a fitness loop minus the cycleway.

Thanks Justin. There are many more of those trails in the Whakawerawera forest Aka Redwoods...... at least another 100km.

@@jaselikesbikes Damn that's fun. Also, I MAY have bought a MTB since we last talked. 🤣

@@JustinDoesTriathlon awesome, you will love it! The stumpy?

@@jaselikesbikes No. Ended up calling around and visiting a few shops, they (politely) told me more or less to come back in July. Ended up hopping on FB Marketplace and I found a 2019 Fuel EX 7 for just over half the new price. I'm driving up an hour to pick it up tomorrow. Assuming all looks good, that looks to be the one! Trail geo, NX 12sp, etc. I know it's no XX1 monster, but I think it's a good all-rounder for me right now. Who knows, I'm sure I'll eventually get more 😅

Sounds perfect Justin. I was going to mention second hand.... you can always upgrade parts when they wear out. Enjoy!

Hi Lance. Thanks! Yes the loop is not that Technical so it wouldn’t suit dads army. The graphics are from the relive app. No doubt I will bump into you in Auckland or the Redwoods Sometime.
