Queenstown certainly lives up to the hype. Here ar Queenstown certainly lives up to the hype. Here are a few of our favorite trails: 

Sticky Forest in Wanaka - A good intro and easy climbs to the top. This area is a web of trails so just explore and enjoy. 

Adze Up to Baywatch at Bike Glendu - Do it for the views but also a top 5 flow trail. Jairola is a fav. for groms. 

Beeched As to Blugazi - This one is also about the views from the McGazza bench and excellent tracks all the way back to town. 

The Dirty Four- Would life changing be too dramatic? This Coronet Peak combo of trails to the road should not be missed. 

El Gato to Thingymajig - El Gato starts at the top of the Gondola and will give you a taste of the Grade 5 (black) trails. 

Squid Run - Hidden trail off the Gondola. You have to pedal a little to get there but you’ll be rewarded with the trail to yourself while busting through rooty goodness.

Mountain bike travel is different than typical buc Mountain bike travel is different than typical bucket-list trips. When we find trails we love, we don’t rush to check them off, we keep coming back. 

Exploring new places is exciting, but there’s something grounding about riding familiar routes, gaining confidence, and letting those places slowly feel like home. 

Where do you keep returning to?

Happy New Year. “May your trails be crooked, windi Happy New Year. “May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.”

Hope your 2026 is filled with adventure, challenges and meaningful journeys.

Some of this was planned and some was spontaneous when our Bend house flooded in April and forced us into the RV for the entire summer. 

Kind of exhausted watching this but wouldn’t have it any other way. We have one life to live so planning to do more of what makes us happy in 2026-bikes and travel.

Hope we see you out there on the trails!

Trust me you’ll thank yourself in the years to com Trust me you’ll thank yourself in the years to come if you start them young and keep it fun. And little kids on bikes are the cutest thing ever. 

Shoutout to @prevelobikes for making those early days less sketchy with a quality bike.
