  • 60km round trip. 🚲 Our longest ride so far on the @sinchbikes Camped up at Pinders Pond, we jumped straight onto the @cluthagoldtrail into Roxburgh Gorge and rode out to Shingle Creek. It wasn’t perfect conditions, steady rain, trees down across the track, a bit of clambering, but honestly, that just added to it. Proper @centralotagonz riding!! A bit wild, a bit gritty, and an epic day on the bikes. Would 100% do it again.
  • New @meanderwild bedding day!!!!!!!!! Sea Glass and Gum! What do you think?
  • 📍 Westoby Farm @nzmcainc POP, Tai Tapu @selwyn.nz

@dunedinnz just a quick stop for a night or two. We stayed at the @nzmcainc park and wow… the rain really turned it on 🌧️ Still, we made the most of it, popping into the @tuhuraotagomuseum and @toituosm then finishing up at @lanyuandunedinchinesegarden which we absolutely adore. No matter how many times we visit Dunedin, Lan Yuan is always a must.

60km round trip. 🚲 Our longest ride so far on the @sinchbikes Camped up at Pinders Pond, we jumped straight onto the @cluthagoldtrail into Roxburgh Gorge and rode out to Shingle Creek. It wasn’t perfect conditions, steady rain, trees down across the track, a bit of clambering, but honestly, that just added to it. Proper @centralotagonz riding!! A bit wild, a bit gritty, and an epic day on the bikes. Would 100% do it again.
