I was interested right till he said it uses railway routes, so it goes around all the hills. Plenty of those options locally here and it makes for some of the most boring riding in the world. Handy for commuting, but I wouldn't go 10 minutes down the road to ride one for fun.
When you’re in the Otago region there is also the Clutha Gold trail,the Roxburgh Gorge trail and the Lake Dunstan trail. The area is rich in history, and controversy about the building of the dams.
The Otago rail trail is a fantastic ride and there are various bike hire places that will organise your bike, accommodation and transportation of your bags along the way. Not to be missed.
Lovely to hear you talk about something I've done a few times with family! It's really lovely down here – I just recommend waiting till summer/autumn… Love when you come up on my feed! <3
People don’t realise just how long that is because NZ looks small on a map. It’s like the same distance as the entire US East Coast, top to bottom, or Denmark to the South of France.

The thought of biking that long makes my knees cry in agony. Looks amazing though
Cool
Okay noted. If i go to new Zealand I won't need a hotel or airbnb
I just need a tent and a bicycle. I'll cycle that entire route for sure!
Love this!
So amazing!

My wonderful aotearoa country
Y'know, I'm convinced that the 2020s aren't really bad, despite their visible flaws, of course.
Excellent, another reason why I love NZ
Thanks for sharing. ❤ bikes
He had me at no steep hills
You gotta get down to Lenka, on route Ngā Haerenga!
(I tried to adapt the route 66 song. It was hard to rhyme, but Lenka is an Australian singer and that's pretty close to New Zealand.)

I am going to hike this route
You should come visit! But we just entered winter, so maybe wait a bit. 😊
👍 and here in Kerala the government is eager to built tunnel in wayanad by destroying the western ghats
Oh my! As I do not bike, I would definately love to hike along this route!
New Zaeland is great place to visit and exploring the unique nature
Alcohol = ethanol = toxic/carcinogenic substance! Becoming sober was the best decision I ever made.
I know now where I will spend my next vacation!
This is a wonderful development. I especially love that Maori are very involved.
Looks good.

🥝Amazing & gorgeous 🥰 Wanted to venture down under since childhood so hoping I could take on 🚲a few trails when my health & energy are restored🙏🤲

I've been thinking for years america needs country wide bike infrastructure like this!! Let's just copy them, lol
Five days to complete 120 K I get that done in like five hours
I like cycling just not here in America
