Mountain Biking John McDonald Loop

#141 of 171 mountain bike trails in North Island
#22,833 in the world

This circuit is mainly on gravel road or four wheel drive track and more than a kilometer is unridable. Don't go there in bad weather or after rain and be prepared for a tough wilderness adventure.
