Why did we start Ride Retreat?
It came from wanting to create something that didn't exist.
Rotorua has some of the best mountain biking on the planet. Brook's spent years riding and racing at the top level. We kept coming back to the same thought: why not bring those two things together properly?
Not just "come ride some trails," but the whole experience. Riding incredible tracks. Learning from someone who's actually lived at the pointy end of the sport. Eating properly good food. Slowing down and recovering, actually enjoying Rotorua instead of just passing through it.
A few days where you don't have to think about the logistics, just show up, ride, and leave feeling like you've genuinely had a break.
That's what we wanted Ride Retreat to be. And we're pretty stoked we get to share it with people from all over the world.
