Riding the Old Ghost Road

Riding the Old Ghost Road

By Connie Ceuppens

Riding the Old Ghost Road, cycling through history on New Zealand's iconic trail.

Kia Ora,

How are you? Please find photos attached of my trip to ride Old Ghost Road, with my 14yr old son. My son would love to seethis up on the site!

Old Ghost Road is 85km cycle/walking track that crosses some very remote South Island mountains and follows parts of an old mining trail. We rode it as a2 day,1 night option. Its listed in Lonely Planets Epic Bike Rides of World and is certainly worthy of the recognition.

Kind regards,

Matt
