Mountain Bike and Duathalon Bike Track

The mountain bike track is designed for people who are keen to get out for a fun ride in a nice location. The track is not designed for only serious riders; you do not need to be a downhill pro to complete the laps.

The track is approximately 7km. You ease into the track heading across rolling paddocks beside the lake. The track then turns up a farm road for a smooth but testing climb up for approximately 1km. You then turn over a saddle which separates Lake Okareka and Lake Tarawera with a look back over your shoulder revealing awesome views of Mt Tarawera. This is followed by a mixture of old farm tracks and a new single track through dense native bush back down to the homestead - near where the camping area, stage and facilities will be set up.

Note: Duathlon track is the black track and is completed twice.
         Mountain Bike track starts off on the black track and goes into the blue track.
