Lake Sumner

A beautiful and easy ride, on gravel and 4wd tracks, that leads to the awesome Hurunui Hut. The amazing scenery more than makes up for the possible blandness of the track.

Hakatere – Boundary Mystery

This route has a lot of different terrain. From flowing 4wd track to unridable bouldery horribleness, to steep untracked death slope and excellent singletrack. This route is a blast!

Dusky Trail

A good, long, mainly single track ride with several river crossings and no major hill climbs. The trail traverses along the bottom of the Ben Ohau Range.

Living Springs

A great little single track just beyond the port hills. A few small diversions add extra interest and difficulty!

Mt Somers

A foothill with a number of DOC tracks around and over it. From the top the view is magnificent, from the Pacific all the way to Mount Cook.
