Mark Adams is an absolute hero when it comes to organising weekends away. We headed to to Kaikōura for the weekend to go mountain biking at middle hill. It was just a fantastic weekend. Stopping for fish & chips on the way up on Friday night…
The actual days biking on the Saturday was excellent. There’s a massive range of tracks, and you pay for shuttles up the hill. There was absolutely enough for a day for everyone, and just really enjoyable tracks :) Can highly recommend.
The following day I went back to ChCh with Paddy and we stopped off to do the kaiterau trail, which basically starts at the Mt Fyffe carpark and climbs steeply up through the forest. The fitter lads (Mark, Ian, Paul) biked up to the hut, which is a really massive climb…. I was happy to skip that and do the track with Paddy. Still a bit wet, but, not too bad, and certainly got the exercise for the day. Hot work – ended with a soak in the river!
Then home along the coast back to ChCh. All in all an excellent excellent weekend.
