Guides & Cycles
Guides
The standard and quality of the guides is the key component in our cycling holidays. They come from all walks of life but they all have a common desire to give you the best possible experience, heaps of fun and lots of fond memories to take home with you. On most cycling trips two guides accompany each group - one will be driving the support vehicle which gives you some flexibility for you to have a rest as you desire, while the other will be riding with the group on the road.
Cycles
A modern fleet of touring bikes are used, which are serviced after each trip. On the road its comfort while cruising that’s the main requirement so either one of our hybrid cycles will see you walking tall at the end of day one. It is compulsory in New Zealand to wear a cycle helmet. These are supplied for all riders.
