Where are YOU riding these holidays?

[babysteps]

Hey Team

This is your opportunity to brag and make all of us jealous with you plans for your rides over the holidays.

This noob is leaving for Wanaka on Boxing day via the McKenzie, Haka and Danseys passes and, depending on the confidence level, Thompson George road.

Where are you going??????

[Jantar]

That is a great ride you've got planned. Thompson's is in good order at the moment, but there are 14 gates to opened and closed again. Are you riding alone, or do you have someone to assist with the gates?

I'll be at work boxing day onwards, otherwise I'd join you for that section.

Thanks Jantar!

I'll be going solo and overnighting in the thriving Metropolis of Kurow on Boxing day, doing Danseys and Thompsons to Wanaka on the 27th

This is my first big ride so I'm kinda apprehensive about the trip but I'm sure I'll be sweet.

Dusty Butt 1000km, and anywhere else in the top of the South that takes my fancy in between working 25-31 Dec, and then my week off at New Years.
Will be sticking to gravel routes mostly = less loopies in cars out to spoil my fun.

There's plenty of good gravel rides in the Wanaka area... up to all the ski-fields for example, and Arrowtown-Macetown is worth a look. Take care and be prepared for some rough stuff and you will be fine. Stick to the tracks or DOC will be all over your ass. The road to Macetown IS a legal road, so vehicles using it must be legal. Cops DO regularly check vehicles...

I myself will stick to the seal, the Haast, Lindis passes...and the Pig Root my be visited. along with a few lesser known backroads in Central... and maybe Southland...
