Embark On An Epic Backcountry Bike Ride Through The Rugged Hills Of The Gentle Annie


Embark on a full day bike ride that begins high in the rugged hills of the iconic Gentle Annie route, where sweeping views of Mt Ruapehu and the surrounding ranges set the tone for a memorable adventure. After a scenic drive to the starting point, you will enjoy a relaxed ride back toward River Valley Lodge, following a route that blends wide open landscapes, peaceful farmland, and long steady descents that invite you to enjoy the journey.


The changing scenery and quiet country atmosphere create an unforgettable experience for riders seeking both beauty and tranquillity. As you travel through remote stations and cross the flowing waters of the Rangitikei River, the ride offers moments of gentle challenge along with refreshing opportunities to pause and take in the atmosphere. Riders may even choose to cool off with a swim on warm days, adding a refreshing touch to the adventure as they traverse the landscape.


With optional e-bike hire, a variety of bike sizes, and a comfortable shuttle to the trailhead, this experience is designed to offer a smooth, enjoyable, and flexible day of exploration for riders of all backgrounds. The route is carefully curated to provide a mix of excitement and relaxation, ensuring that you can appreciate the scale of the mountains and the serenity of the valleys without feeling rushed or overwhelmed by the physical demands of the terrain.


This ride is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in the raw beauty of the backcountry. By providing a shuttle service and high-quality bike options, the experience removes the logistical hurdles of exploring such a remote area. Whether you are an experienced cyclist or a casual rider, the combination of the Gentle Annie route and the support provided makes for a truly world-class day of outdoor adventure in the heart of New Zealand.
