Return to Ghost Lake

Even though it is still incomplete the Old Ghost Road is a brilliant ride. The return to Ghost Lake involves an easy, steady climb then excellent fast descent.

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.

Mahinapua Tramway

Easy flat single track on gravel, grass and boardwalks with a more technical diversion to a pretty beach.

Kaniere Water Race Walkway

A good track marred by the presence of lots of pointless unrideable steps.

A small set of mountain bike trails of varying difficulty above Hokitika.

Hanmer Springs

Some of the best custom built single track in south island!

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

Monument Track

A nice little loop with superb views but unrelenting big climbs

Wither Hill

A really great little bike park near Blenheim. Near perfect tracks on a near perfect surface. Its just a pity there isn’t more.
