There are a number of excellent tracks all within 40 minutes drive of the lodge (some listed below) and Mark is always happy to share his local knowledge of the best terrain.

Oropi Grove

Just a 20 minute drive from the Lazy Tramper lodge. This is a fun track and a great way to spend a couple of hours. Grades 1-5.

Summerhill, Papamoa

This is a working farm with a big pine block. The tracks here are good but generally more challenging. Excellent views.

Thompsons Track

Also a 40 minute drive from the Lazy Tramper, this is an adventurous bush ride over approximately 3-5 hours.

Mount Te Aroha

Excellent 1.5 - 2 hour burn out, even in wet weather. The climb to the top is a relatively steep gradient.

Cougar Mountain Bike Park, Tokoroa

This excellent new facility has already become home for a number of mountain biking events. Off-road forest tracks to suit all levels and abilities.

Redwoods, Rotorua

Whakarewarewa Forest is regarded as one of New Zealand's very best mountain biking areas. An easy and scenic one hour drive from the Lazy Tramper and a great idea for a full-day of excellent MTB action!
