Gravel Ride - Taieri Mouth loop

Come join us for our first gravel ride of the year. A social, gravel ride with lots of stunning views with lunch at Waihola.

“Gravel has a broad definition—generally, any terrain between the steep, rocky inclines of mountain biking, and the smooth tarmac of road biking. In practice, it translates to gorgeous scenery, pleasantly challenging conditions, and no cars."
