What the day feels like
What seven days of self-guided riding feels like
You collect a ready-to-ride GT Avalanche, don a supplied helmet and set off to explore Piarere’s trails at your own pace—stopping as you like, carrying fluids in the provided drink holder and dealing with punctures using the supplied repair kit. The seven-day format removes the rush: ride multiple local loops or string together longer days, returning equipment to base at the end of the hire.
