At 8:30 on day  1 we pick you up form your accommodation in Taupo and transfer you to the start of the Timber trail which takes approx 1hr 15min. (optional whakamaru cafe stop on the way). At the trail beginning we will give you a trail briefing and you will then ride the 39km to the Timber trail lodge. Highlights include the amazing Pureora Native forest, The climb up and over Mt Pureora and the 2nd largest swing bridge on the trail. While you are riding we will have transported your luggage for you to the lodge. The lodge provide all of your linen as well as dinner, Breakfast on day 2 and a packed lunch for Day 2. The lodge has a bar to enjoy a relaxing drink after an epic day one of riding.

On day 2 in the morning after breakfast you will ride the 2nd half of the trail to Ongarue where we will transport your bags to and be waiting to transport you back to Taupo. (aprox 2 hours for the return shuttle). 

Day 2 highlights include the largest swing bridge on any NZ cycle way, (141m) more amazing Native forest, following the old tram ways and of course the only tram spiral you can ride.The Ongarue Spiral.

We provide the group with a satelite tracker so we can remain in touch and also keep track of where you are on the trail as there is no cell reception apart from 2 spots either side of Mt Pureora (sign posted on the trail).
