Arch Hill Scenic Reserve is possibly the only place in Central Auckland where you can mountain…read morebike. Went here last weekend, because my sister is a keen mountain biker, plus they have walking tracks too! The reserve also has a playground, swings, a climbing dome, a basketball hoop and a huge field, which would be great for soccer, cricket or just running around. Perfect for kids, but also for adults (like my sister and I) that still enjoy a good playground! There are two tracks for mountain bikers, short ones, but still pretty fun. They also have two walking tracks, one that follows the mountain bike track and the other is a short steep walk (but good for those thighs!) up to the Grey Lynn Community Library. It is definitely a great short-cut if you live in the area! Only negative would be that the park backs onto the motorway, so quite noisy, but once you block out that noise, it is bliss.

We opted for a cycle tour of Auckland. Bicycles and helmets were available and our experienced…read moreguide led us on an extensive, 4 hour cycling tour of Auckland. Not for the weak or witless, since even an e-bike requires strength, alertness, and agility when plugged-in pedestrians step in front of you! The tour was fabulous! Our guide led the way and at each stop she gave extensive history of the particular site. We saw so much of this fantastic, beautiful, and amazing city, much more than just walking or taking the tour bus. We will definitely do this again!

Went on a excursion through Royal Caribbean. Jackie and Andrew led the group and they were super! I…read morereally liked the bike ride from downtown to Mission Bay and just beyond that till the bike path along the water ends. She said it was 22 kilometers(whatever that is in miles). It was about a 3 hour trip. We made stops along the way. We stopped across from Rangitoto Volcano and we were treated to coffee or ice cream at Movenpick(Swiss ice cream). That was icing on the cake. It definitely wasn't raining, but it was a bit overcast. When the bike path ended along the water, we turned around and went back the same way we came in. The leaders led a small group of 6-8 people at a moderate speed. I was always sure to ride behind the leader because I wanted to go fast and not have to ride behind another group member. Maybe that's obnoxious. Oh well.

Back to the track not bikes, the track is very well maintained and has such nice scenery.It is so nice to just drive out there and spend the day in the forest hitting some jumps and having fresh air.There is bike servicing,Cafe and lots of seating area inside and outside last of all there is a hose and cleaning products to clean off your bike after while the dirt or mud (if you even have any on your bike) is still wet.

A nice 35 minute drive from where I live in auckland, I headed here on a nice sunny autumnal day…read more I paid $7 for a day pass, and biked trails for around two and ahalf hours. I was given a map when I bought my pass which showed all the trails (and their difficulty level). I think I biked around 10km (covered some Nature Valley trails and Big Mumma, before returning to the carpark). I found it to be a good workout with the hill work, and I liked that any jumps were graded by difficulty level also (aswell as there always being a bypass option). There were a lot of helpful and friendly people out on the tracks, who were only too happy to point me in the right direction, and fill me in on the most suitable track. It took me awhile to get used to all the exposed roots, but I did find it really fun. I particularly liked one new trail on my return to the carpark, that was like a BMX track. And I will end this review by saying I did somewhat spectacurlary come off my bike about 5 minutes from finishing, in some loose sand... But I was able to bike out without having to call the Emergency Response number written on my wristband! On site there is a cafe, bike servicing, lots of helpful staff and plenty of outdoor seating. In the carpark there was even an area with a hose and cleaning products to clean up your bike.

Stretch and (DRUMROLL) 4. Invest in icebreaker merino Yes, you read that correctly. Honestly this material has changed my life. Gone are the days of smelly, soggy tshirts of cotton...I am fully converted to a merino snob. Going on a four day hiking trip and need something lightweight and breathable that also keeps you warm when the sun goes down? That dries completely within 2 hours? That through sweat, blood and tears STILL doesn't smell? Yes, all of this IS possible and it comes with a baaaaa code. I wear my merino a lot. Days on end. Doing ridiculous activities from tramping, mountain biking, swimming, running, rafting, burpees...you name it. I still have not been able to get this tshirt to smell. Ever. If that's not magic, I really don't know what is. PS - this specific store is kinda small but highly convenient on Queen street. The service I received here was great, too. I actually had a small tear in my 6 month old tshirt and they exchanged it for a brand new one no questions asked.

They've got kids bikes, trainer wheels, bike baskets which our teenage girls now like, bike seats if your old one has worn out, new tyres and so much more.

First class advise can be had here too as you'd expect. I find this New Lynn Bike Barn really friendly and they know their bike stuff.
