Where to Ride Road

10 Top Road Cycling Destinations

For a holiday destination with a difference, get there by bike.

Stretching from Alexandra to Middlemarch, the 150 kilometre Otago Central Rail Trail takes cyclists on a scenic historic journey past mountainous landscapes, viaducts and river gorges.

It’s possible to complete the cycle route in just a day but for those wishing to make more of a holiday out of it, you can fill five days by stopping off at attractions en route and exploring any number of the twenty towns you will pass through.
