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.
