There is FREE parking in Ahuriri and plenty of it.

The trails are flat and easy!

If you are on a multiday tour to get maximum enjoyment from your cycling experience, you should have a moderate fitness level. Cycling times range from two to six hours, with options available for those who want more or less time on the bike.

The Operator provides you with detailed daily instructions for your cycling trail as well as local maps. These will be printed so you can carry them with you as well as on Google Maps which they will provide a link for.

Sunblock, cell phone for emergencies, rain jacket, swimming togs (if you want to take a dip in one of the rivers en route), plenty of water and your wallet (for those bottles of wine!) should be all you need. 

Bike panniers are available for those who would like them fitted to their bike. Panniers are generally large enough for a couple’s daily requirements, but some people may prefer to use their own day pack. 

There are many options for lunches along the trails, and this is something that cyclists love to explore. The various cafes and wineries offer everything from platters to full restaurants suiting every budget. Let the staff know if you would like them to book a restaurant for your lunch stop.

Hawke’s Bay is home to many outstanding and popular restaurants. A full list of ‘dining out’ recommendations will be provided to you.

The Operator offers a free mechanical backup service and will provide you with a local phone number to call if you break down. Depending on where you are, some wait time is to be expected. In the event of a puncture, full puncture repair kits are provided. Repairing the puncture yourself is often your quickest and easiest option; however, they are happy to help if that is your preference.
