Wairoa Gorge

Wairoa Gorge is situated deep into Wairoa Valley about an hour from Nelson and is home to some of New Zealand's most exclusive hand-built mtb trails. When we were offered a space on a private shuttle day with some guys from the Trans NZ we jumped at the chance.

We spent the day shuttling back and forth up the valley and descending through lush native beech forest on a whole variety of different trails. Ben thought he would throw a spanner in the works half way through the day by snapping his mech hanger, but luckily the day was saved when he was offered the use of the club's plus size e-bike for the rest of the afternoon!

Awesome fun although rattling down the mountain left us absolutely exhausted even after our two days of rest post-Trans NZ.

Unfortunately we were having too much fun to take any photos!
