A nice cruisey start from boat club on sealed road before heading up gravel road to farm entry. Nice ride across farm before some climbing at around the 7km mark. May have to dismount a couple of times. Once to the peak of the climb (8.5km) you can spend time looking around the landscape. A few short climbs and downhills then onto the exit downhill with some neat turns. Comfortable sealed road ride back to the club. Boothill (14km) is another good opportunity for a photo opp, then zip down to finish back to the club.
Epic climbs. Stunning views.

The first 4km starts with a gradual climb over gravel road before entering private farmland. A fun climb before a zippy downhill over farm tracks. Nice turns with some bumps to navigate. Back on sealed road ride, then onto an epic uphill climb on gravel farm road. Steep with opportunities to stop and take in the view. Riding over different farms and a new pine plantation, then onto gravel road back into yet another farm and a long ride through mature native bush down to a gravel road. Ride on gravel road for a little while and back on open farm land with spectacular views over the Harbour and West Coast. Descend back to sealed road along the Harbour’s edge to the boat club in Te Waitere.
