I've been biking ever since moving to Taupo in 2010. Before starting FourB in 2017 | was a PE teacher in New Zealand, United Kingdom and Mongolia. Back in NZ, after a chance meeting with another tour company operator I had decided to leave teaching and he mentioned there was a van and bike trailer for sale, which I bought and started FourB.
My Favourite trail in Taupo is by far the Waihaha ride!
My favourite bike is my Electric downhill Ransom (which fits a "shotgun seat" so my 2 year old can join in the adventures).
