So at last I got the opportunity to ride in the legendary Redwoods of the Rotorua forest with my buddy James. I was pretty excited and a little hungover. Erica and I had a great session in there a few days before but as usual with these places we got exceedingly lost. James is a bit of a local there now and knows all the good places so off we set.
The trails are amazing. So thought out so that they flow and roll really well even on the climbs. Like Wanaka but on steroids. Warmed up on a few of the lower trails and then headed up, catching the shuttle bus to near the summit. A great couple of runs down from there and then back up to the top we headed out to the back country trails. We did one sat on each others wheels without pedaling for about 15 minutes on the just perfect flowy downhill trails. Very cool. Then the rain came down and it all turned into a mud bath.
After about 4 hours we had had enough. Knackered and cold but stoked. A great day of riding.
Soaked through. Got my best shoes on. They have just dried out.
