Enjoying -
Amazing surf beaches, Mount Maunganui, Tauranga & Harbour, Kiwifruit & Avocado Orchards, Dairy, Sheep & Cattle Farms, historic Maketu, back country New Zealand, adventure activities, lakes, amazing vistas, plus geothermal and cultural experiences at Rotorua (The Surf Loop will not see all these things).
There are several different aspects to these rides. I have supplied the information so you can make a considered decision as to how many kilometres you wish to cycle, where you wish to stay, and what activities you wish to do. Cycle into ' Our Rides' for the general outline or 'More' or contact Caroline for more detailed information for your selection.
Each of these four rides have been divided into Sections. These are a guide only to give you a possible stop/start reference point. You may wish to take two days to cover one section, or two sections in one day depending on your fitness and interest levels.
The Sections are from one City / town / village / settlement

These are all year round cycle journeys (except August due to intensive spraying on Kiwifruit orchards that you need to pass by).
The routes are on - Reserve trails / shared biking - walking paths / road cycle lanes / quiet back country roads and busier city streets.
For The Surf Loop the surface is sealed / tarmac roads and reserve trails suitable for road bikes.
Surf 2 Geysers, Geysers 2 Surf and The Surf 2 Geysers Loop have some unsealed sections so skinny road tyres could be a bit testing, if not dangerous. A bike with a wider tread tyre would be recommended, or what ever you would feel comfortable riding in that situation.
These rides are designed to take you in the safest way possible, giving maximum areas of interest and vistas, sometimes small busy stretches can’t be avoided. These ride routes are a suggestion only, selected with local knowledge for your enjoyment. As more routes are developed, they will be incorporated into this site. Take the time to enjoy the journey you have all day to get there.
It is recommended that extreme care be taken at all times, road rules obeyed and you ride in a courteous manner especially on shared walk/cycle ways
