A great little circuit with a savagely steep initial hill, but brilliant views and some fun descents.

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.

Lake Hawea Classic

This track is only open for one day a year, during the Lake Hawea race. The track itself isn’t the most interesting with bits of singletrack, gravel road and 4wd track, but the scenery is stunning and the length is challenging.

Flock Hill

4wd and gravel tracks that circumnavigate Broken Hill on the Flock Hill estate. The views are amazing, and a detour can be made to the avoca homestead, Doc hut.

Technically challenging and fun singletrack eases into pleasant 4wd track that takes you into Lees Valley. Gravel road then leads through the impressive Ashley river gorge to Oxford.
