Day 2 - Timber Trail time. After breakfast you start the 40km ride from Pureora. Wind your way through ancient native forest and across 2 incredible suspension bridges, reaching an altitude of 970m before descending back to the Lodge for a game of cards or a drink by the fire.
Day 3 - The final stage of the Timber Trail awaits. Today you head towards Ongarue, a mere 42km away! You’ll cross NZ's longest and highest rideable suspension bridge and more.
