About Ring of Fire - Tongariro National Park
The 'Ring of Fire' is the seismic zone that encircles the pacific ocean. It is only a few places where it is possible to cycle in this zone. One of those rare places is in the Unesco world heritage area of Tongariro National Park. It is an active volcanic area on New Zealand's North Island. Enroute you have stunning views of several vulcanos, including New Zealand's largest volcano, Mount Ruapehu. The ride starts on a sunny day with clear skies. After one kilometer of riding, you see the snow-capped volcano Mount Ruapehu in a distance. After 6 kilometers you see the cone-shaped volcano Mount Ngauruhoe (aka Mount Doom in 'Lord of the Rings'). After 26 km of cycling, you have excellent views of the famous Tongariro Crossing. When you leave the main road to ride up Mount Ruapehu, the road starts to get steeper. After you have passed Whakapapa Village and the beautiful castle-like Tongariro Hotel, the climb starts to get even more difficult. Sometimes with double-digit gradients and a maximum gradient of 14 percent. The last segment has beautiful lava fields. Reaching the end of the road you have climbed almost 1400 altimeters and reached the highest point possible (by road bike) of any active volcano in New Zealand. The last eruption was in 2007....

Adding music to the ride:
Most cyclists would agree that the ride to Col du Tourmalet is awesome. But when it comes to music opinions are very mixed. This is why we do not add music to our rides. We simply do not want to spoil your ride with music you do not like. But it is quite simple to add it yourself. Open an extra browser tab. Find a site that offers music (Spotify, YouTube, etc…) and pick the music you like and enjoy the ride...
