Hello keen bikers. I am an organiser for the Auckland Cycling Group and have so far guided two trips along the Old Ghost Road and I consider the scenery to the best you will see.

Its true, not all the trail is ride-able but you would not want to as around every corner you will have to stop and take a photo as the views are jaw dropping!

You will have to take day one easy as its quite a climb to Ghost Lake Hut but worth every minute of it. Then relax and watch the sun go down before the adventure really begins in the morning where you traverse the mountains and ride the ridge line!

Insect repellent is essential at the Specimen Point Hut then ride the final day and shower in the open at the Rough and Tumble lodge and share your experiences over a well deserved beer and pizza.
