It stinks there (the air), but it is very beautiful!

I would love to go ride there, I was there in 2011 during my 23days trip through NZ with the RWC, so didnt ride.

 

(I wanted to add some photos of the trails there (I hiked them), but I see it isnt on this laptop)

 

I love NZ!

Me too, I'm moving there at the end of December. Unfortunately I'll be a 3-hour drive from Rotorua though, but by all accounts it'll be a regular weekend away.

Guys, if this is what Enduro is like then it looks amazing. I was under the impression that the courses are WAY more technical. Of course each course is different.

From what I've seen of Rotorua, their tracks are VERY flowy. Easy when slow, but timing becomes very important when travelling at speed. I don't think we have any tracks like that in the Western Cape (parts of Jonkers come closest probably).

Auckland for now. Not really any mountain biking in the city, but there's some reasonable riding about 45-60 minutes out.

Looks awesome! Reminds me a bit of Welvanpas and Jonkers combo.

That's the thing with speed. Turns the smallest thing into a huck-fest
