Wharfedale return
Instead of doing the whole Wharfedale loop, its well worth just going to the saddle and back for a short singletrack fix. The route on to the hut isn’t worth doing at present.

Mt Karetu
A very long climb on gravel roads and 4wd tracks before ending with some unrideable tussocks on the very top. The descent is fun, but still has a lot on gravel roads.

Mt Thomas
A big gravel road climb followed by a fast steep descent. The views over the Ashley Forest and towards the Port hills are good for the top half of the ascent

Comyns Hut Via Turtons Saddle
A nice there and back ride with a great wilderness feel. Lots of matagari bushes ready to puncture tyres though.
