Pickup procedure was super easy and directions were clear. The folks who fitted us for our bike even gave some recommendations on paths to take.
Overall the mountain biking was scenic/good, but we did have one issue as the chain of one of our bikes fell off about halfway through the day. The team (I think the name was Michael) was very helpful and helped swap out the bike but a good amount of time was lost so we were not able to cover all the distance we wanted. We understand that these things happen and appreciate the team’s help to get us back and going.
I would encourage people to think about renting an e-bike based on desired amount of challenge. With just one day it might have been better to cover more ground and see more sites with an e-bike. I wouldn’t change what I did but it’s worth considering!

Really good and cool experience. We rode for 3.5 hours on e-bikes, which meant that we got a lot of trips :-)

Great experience but the company did a poor job of directions to the place. They dropped the pin in the forest along a private road. They definitely need to fix this problem.

We hired a bike at the Redwood forest for 2 hours. There are a range of paths to ride on (each graded for difficulty). We can cycle well but aren't well versed in extreme mountain biking, so kept to the green routes. This was a perfect fit, and incredibly fun. There are heaps of families enjoying the routes, so feels incredibly safe and fun. Nice cafe nearby the bike hire area. This was a spare of the moment decision on our trip, but ended up being one of our favourite parts. A must do!.

Rented bikes here and had a blast riding through the forest primeval. I'm a tentative mountain biker at best, but there were kiddie trails I could handle (barely!) If you're a serious mountain biker, you'll be in your happy place. Nice coffee shop onsite for after-bike sustenance.

Awesome peaceful and scenic ride for a Grade 1 - 3 ride on our E Mountain Bikes. Some nice slow places and but also some good small downhill sections that brought in a bit more excitement. We took just over 2 hours with small stops along the way and was so well signposted that there was no way we could get lost.
Will definitely do this ride again with more family as you experience so many different scenes along this trail. Give it a go!

Me and my partner had a great day out on the bikes.
We did a 35km loop that was suggested by one of the staff and loved it. Using Ebikes we were able to complete in roughly 3 hours. As we were unsure how long the batteries would last we were a little conservative and only ended up using a little under half the charge. I'm not the fittest by any means but didn't find tge track difficult. Had I used more of the battery assist it would have been even easier. Awesome experience and great value. Highly recommend and would do again to try some of the other tracks. Note the Ebikes did add on a extra charge but we'll worth it.

A fantastic experience. We did the full loop on electric bikes 4 hour booking took 3 1/2 hours taking it easy was tough in parts but glad we did it & we were both inexperienced mtb bikers.
