hayleyearth Posted November 6, 2013 Share 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! Capricorn and niterider 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niterider Posted November 6, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raab Posted November 6, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niterider Posted November 6, 2013 Share Where abouts are you going to live? Auckland for now. Not really any mountain biking in the city, but there's some reasonable riding about 45-60 minutes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we have any tracks like that in the Western Cape (parts of Jonkers come closest probably). That's the thing with speed.
