Balu and I are intending to ride the South Island over the Christmas holidays. We've really only made relatively short trips around the top half of the SI before but this time we want to take at least a couple of weeks to cover as much of the island as we can, as far down as we can.
I would have asked for suggestions for interesting routes in my thread title, but knew that could be asking for trouble...
However, I will word it this way: We'd like to travel more off the beaten track, visiting places of local interest, staying at low cost accommodation spots, and generally seeing the country off SH1. We're both on road bikes so "adventure" tracks are not going to be suitable, having said that, neither of us are particularly worried by gravel.
Maybe we might get to catch up with some southern kb dwellers if we're sufficiently organised!
