Any cyclists made it here yet? I’m a regular on #alps2Ocean and always up for a leg or two. Managed a respectable distance for October so hoping for warmer weather now.
Oh yeah, here's my grandpa bike testing the new (kinda inadequate) bike parking at work yesterday. Super comfortable but not the most efficient geometry. Especially with hills!
, the Eastside of the harbour following the peninsula has a 18km cycle way finished up to Portobello and from there are small bits finished for the next 20km all the way out to Taiaroa Head and the Albatross Center. If you're really keen you can add another km and go uphill on a steep gravel road to the Wilderness cafe, great views there. And that's turnaround point.
, another nice ride is to follow the coast South on the scenic route via Brighton (~20km ) to Taieri Mouth (35km). In Brighton you can climb up to Saddle Hill road and come back to Dunedin that way. At Taeri Mouth you can cross over into the Taeri Plane cross the state highway 1 and come back on the western side of the Taeri and past the airport over 3 mile hill into Dunedin. I'd check wind directions, both northerly and southerly can be bad, so go early then home with the wind.
