everyone has a great adventure ride experience.
From the venue at Moawhango the route
will head onto farmland, via paper roads that
link through to gravel roads used in the iconic
gumboot car rally of the 90s. Rolling farmland
of the Pukeokahu Valley, high country stations
and 360-degree views over the region including
across to Mt Ruapehu will also feature.
The Yamaha Gumboot Adventure will be a
great way to blow away any Christmas or New
Year nightmares, and get a look at some of
New Zealand’s glorious heartland scenery.
