Because of Chris' involvement with Triathlon and Ironman, and our general love affair with bikes we're well positioned to cater for both triathletes and cycle tourists.

If you are a triathlete Cats Pjamas offers you the following:

• Endless Pool for an excellent workout and to refine your swim technique (it's amazing what the mirror on the bottom of the pool shows you!)

• Computrainer which allows you to ride quite a few different Ironman courses. Alternatively, you can try a DVD such as Spinervals or Sufferfest

• Rowing Machine for a good upper body workout
• Some nice quiet roads with hills for excellent run workouts, as well as Abel Tasman national park for some good off road workouts

• Weights and balance ball
• Strengthening DVD's such as P90X and Insanity
• Magmed Sauna to relax and unwind in
• Protein drinks and home made energy bars

Amenities at Cats Pjamas for cyclists in general:

• Mountain bikes available for guest use (free for dawdling about but if you plan on some serious riding there is a rental fee)
• Safe bike lock up
• Fully equipped bike repair shop

• Laundry facilities
• We can collect you with our bike rack from near-by if you break down or bonk
• Endless yarns of bike trips, competitions, conquests and failures

Some places to ride your bikes or other local cycling resources.

We are ideally situation for road and mountain bike rides. If you want to practice your time trial, cycle 10 minutes and turn left and there is about 20 km of flat roads with little traffic. Fancy some hill rides? Turn right and you'll hit the hills. Spectacular scenery as well.

Here are some ride sheets that Chris has prepared.

• ~120 km Motueka Circuit Road Ride You can do less!
• ~90 km to Pohara, Golden Bay Ride to the CPJ Beach Cottage

If you are a mountain biker, Rabbit Island is only 15 minutes riding away from us. You will find several kilometers of single track trails suitable for riders of all abilities. There are other areas on the island to explore as well.
