I knew that Stu was offering guided trail bike rides in the region for some time, but i'd never actually gone on one of his rides.

A mate turned up from Aussie and wanted to trail ride, so i tagged along. What a wonderful day out, not only did we ride some awesome trails in the Coromandel jungle, but Stu showed us the gold heritage of yesteryear and where the townships used to be, he took us thru mining tunnels on the bikes, into water bogs and we got off the bikes and walked into another gold mine tunnel, only to be shown the cave wetas on our exit as Stu shone the torch on the ceiling as they scurried around.....this was enough for my aussie mate and he ran out like a big girl. I highly rate a day out with Stu for awesome riding, a history lesson on gold and he's a good bloke too. I'm a Harley man myself and I've done a lot of trail riding, as for my Aussie mate...he was a broken man from the trail riding and needs to harden up....good on ya Stu, I'm up for another ride sometime soon, I'll be leaving my aussie mates behind on the next ride.
