• Rotorua biking heaven

    Woke up early so took a stroll around the hotel that was quite well centered and next to the hot spring lake. Nice and short walk cause i was focused on maximising my Biking time! Rented a Giant Trance and started the Forest loop at 'Whakarewarewa Forest Park'. I was a bit in a hurry cause rain was supposed to come in later in the day. The 34km loop was said to go through some of the areas interesting forest locations as well as providing a good (grade 3) ride.
    It did not dissapoint. A relatively easy ride but the landscape was amazing! Huge redwood trees, giant ferns, tropical feel and well built tracks that were still moist from the rain the day before.
    Loved it!
    Finished the loop, took a breather and roamed around the rest of the tracks keeping it reltively easy. Did around 60km of trail riding and was certainly ready to hit those warm pools! Nice and relaxing small pools placed outdoors with a view to the lake and both acidic and alcalic waters! Had no cluewhat was what... i just transfered my tired being from one to the other and got primed for some rest!
