Fun Bike
Overview
This is a chance for mountain bike rookies, kids, families and schools to get a taste of the real deal.
Our 12km mountain bike fun ride has an exciting course complete with awesome single-track but no huge hills and just enough tricky stuff to give you a taste of real mtn biking.
Starting from the Kai Tahi HQ, riders follow cycle paths along Porirua Stream and through Bishop Viard College to Rangituhi's mountain bike heaven, following flat and rolling trails before returning through Viard and the cycle paths to the Kai Tahi finish line. With only one real uphill and downhill, there's nothing too over the top so this really is a ride for anyone.
