In this video I’m back in the Redwoods (Rotorua) and we decided to level the day up by booking a private shuttle. Instead of grinding out climbs all day, we got dropped right where we wanted, when we wanted—basically maximum laps, minimum waiting around. If you’re trying to ride the best trails in the forest and keep the stoke high, this is such a fun way to do it. I’m riding a bunch of my favourite Redwoods lines and just soaking up how good this place is when everything clicks—good crew, good trails, and the shuttle drops you at the perfect spots. The big takeaway is simple: if you’ve only ever pedalled for your laps here, a private shuttle day changes the whole vibe and lets you pack way more riding into one session. Also, if you’re in Rotorua and need anything bike-related, Cycle Obsession is the local shop I’m pointing people to.
