Description:
This 1-day cycle tour has you cycling through one of the most spectacular gorges on the Otago Central Rail Trail. The trail is vehicle-free, has an easy gradient and takes you through amazing scenery, over viaducts and through tunnels. Our driver will transport you from Clyde, highlighting points of interest along the way, to Auripo where you can start the mainly downhill ride back to Clyde.
Your adventure starts with a shuttle transfer from Queenstown to our Clyde Depot where you will be fitted on your bikes and briefed on your tour. We will then transport you into the peace and quiet of the Ida Valley to Auripo, where you will have time for a snack and any last-minute questions before you set off. The ride will take you through the Poolburn Gorge featuring two tunnels and two viaducts in a secluded rocky setting. The next stop is Omakau where lunch is booked at the Omakau Commercial Hotel; then it is back on the bikes to cycle the remainder of the trail. There is an option to be picked up from Chatto Creek or Alexandra if required. From Alexandra, there are two routes to choose from: You can either continue on the Rail Trail directly back to the Trail Journeys Depot, or cycle through Alexandra, over the Clutha River / Mata Au, and take the scenic, River Track, back through Clyde township to the depot - this is approximately 8kms longer.
