I'm looking for places to ride in Canterbury. I've been hitting the waimak tracks for the last few weeks but looking for somewhere new. Is there any other trails out there ? thanks in advance.

I used to ride a bit round the Ashley river, if you go to the end of swamp road there is a big clearing which you can ride around. There is a long 4wd track, if you head upstream you will get to a river that is a bit deep to get past, but it does make a nice loop. If you head downstream you can get to the ocean eventually, there are a few dead ends but it is kinda fun trying to find a path I reckon.

Park at the the big clearing next to the Rangiora airport and do a run up stream and back, there's some good tracks
