Beautiful town, area of NZ. Bike shop crew friendly, helpful, supportive. We’re 75+ yo cyclists who usually do roads, developed trails. This was a mix of several mountain surfaces, most memorable being cobblestones! The bikes provided were in good repair. Definitely recommend full suspension bikes! We were not on e-bikes and there were 3 or 4 steep stretches where we had to walk bikes a couple of hundred meters, but well worth it. Highly recommend this iconic ride!
