Remutaka Rail Trail Cycle Tour from Wellington
"Communication was good, preparation was good and equipment was top notch. Beautiful views and stunning scenery. The only thing you should know if you are booking this is that you should be confident on a mountain bike. The track for the most part is manageable by most - however the last 4-5km is tough mountain biking - very narrow path, lots of rocks to navigate around and on the side of a pretty high hill. We ended up walking our bikes the last little part (and we are pretty fit). If you have the energy after the first part of the ride take the option to continue to Featherstone - an additional 10km on a flat, rarely used highway with some lovely views and lots of animals to see along the way."..."
