A four day feast of cross country mountain biking

Single Track Mind is a great excuse to escape from the city and enjoy four days that are all about the biking.

With a focus on scenic and cross country mountain biking we ride on a variety of single-track in rolling high country farmland, pine forest and lush native bush including the famous Rameka Tracks and some other gems we know around Nelson and Golden Bay. A mixture of natural and purpose built tracks offer us everything from grunty grunts, rolling, flowy descents, technical creek crossings and rocks and roots.

We spend our days riding through the spectacular scenery and fantastic tracks which Nelson and Golden Bay are famous for, finishing each day in our pick of the region's guesthouses and lodges with the ever-present hot showers, cold beers, local wines and food at times quirky restaurants!
