Bike the 42 Traverse!
The 42 Traverse is a mountain bike ride through Tongariro State forest formally known as State Forest 42, and is one of the premier MTB rides in New Zealand. Renowned for the long and often rutted down hills, is assured to test even the most ardent Kamikaze MTB freak.
The track surface varies from gravel to mud, some stream crossings, and with all good things there is normally some bad and yes it is true there is the inevitable up hill climbs. The scenery is absolutely spectacular - from wide vistas of all three Volcanoes to lush unspoiled bush. This is a very unique track as you can either enjoy the magnificent beauty with your family on a more relaxed and peaceful outing or tear the knobs off your tyres with your friends.
