CENTRAL OTAGO<br />
The Cycling on Central Otago Cycle trails<br />
provides a huge range of great options<br />
for all riders at Grade 1 – 3 levels. That<br />
is without even looking at the options for<br />
those wanting cross country and downhill<br />
hill options.<br />
The Otago Central Rail Trail from Clyde to Middlemarch has been<br />
attracting riders from around New Zealand and the world for over 20<br />
years and is the “Original Great Ride”. It was the result of some very<br />
forward thinking from landowners and DOC on the closure of the Railway<br />
line from Ranfurly to Middlemarch in the early 90’s. This trail suits<br />
families, social groups, and the individual travellers with a great range of<br />
accommodation from DOC campsites, Holiday Parks B’nB’s, purposebuilt<br />
lodges and if you are wanting that special boutique experience that<br />
can be provided as well. The trail is 152 kms in total and can be ridden<br />
over 3-5 days,with 4 days being the most popular as it allows for those<br />
sore bums and to enjoy everything the trail has to offer. Food is not a<br />
problem with some of NZ’s best and brightest country pubs and cafes<br />
along the way. This trail is all grade 1 so suits all riders from the less<br />
experienced or very young through to those where cycling is a passion.<br />
