The Otago Rail Trail is New Zealands original Great Ride. Stretching 152-kilometer from Middlemarch to Clyde, the trail can be walked but is most often cycled over 3-5 days. It follows the path of a historic railway line, showcasing the stunning landscapes of Central Otago. With preserved bridges, tunnels, and stations, the trail offers a glimpse into the region's gold-mining past. Passing through charming towns like Waipiata and Lauder, it provides a leisurely journey through Central Otago's natural beauty and cultural heritage. The trail can be cycled year round and is great for families.
Date cycled: September 2022
Distance: 152 KM
Duration: 3 days

I never understand how you guys don't have more views / subscribers! Love the videography and storytelling. I cycled on the Otago Rail Trail about 10 years ago (just one day) and loved it. It was a beautiful, clear blue sky day, but in summer, so probably a bit warmer than what you guys had in September ;-) Brings back great memories!

Thank you for the kind words, always means so much to us 😊🙏❤️ Would have been interesting to see what the towns were like 10 years ago! Summer definitely would have been hotter, but still very beautiful

Can you remove the battery to fly with it? You might hit enough towns to charge it each day
@shinji112
@shinji112 Год назад
@@ChrisandDanya Not on my newer board. It has about 50km range, so the battery is too big to be considered as 'carry-on' luggage. I did manage to bring my older board over in 2020, right before the borders closed but I only had 20km range back then.
@ChrisandDanya
@ChrisandDanya Год назад
Are the batteries removable? You might be able to rent one over here. I know some people do that for E-MTB's

Great ideas to try cycling through out south Island never think about doing cycling after so many time went there🤗 thanks for the info very helpful 😀 👍👍💙

It's such a wonderful and easy 3 day ride. You can easily make the days shorter and do it over 4 or 5 days as well. Lots of great cycling trails in the Otago region

Awesome video, i plan to do this with my husband in a few months. I wonder what you think we should budget for accommodation and food etc. I have absolutely no idea 😂.
@ChrisandDanya
@ChrisandDanya 8 месяцев назад
That's awesome, you'll have an amazing time! There is some links in the video descriptions that'll help you plan and book your trip. I can't remember exactly how much we paid, but rough idea below: Accom - $150 per night Food - ~$60 pp per day. Breakfast is usually included at the accom Transport - $100 pp We had our own bikes, so I'm not sure how much a rental for the 3 days would cost, but I would assume ~$200 pp

Do the bike companies transport you to the start at Middlemarch? And once finished at Clyde do they transport you to Queenstown (for example)? Thanks
@ChrisandDanya
@ChrisandDanya Год назад
You can start in Middlemarch or Clyde whichever you prefer, but the transport companies are usually based out of Clyde so you will likely leave your car there. Transport will take you or pick you up at the other end. Some have transport packages from Queenstown, Dunedin, etc, but depending on scheduling, you will likely need to spend a night in Clyde either before or after your trip
