- 40km Mountain Bike Ride
Shantytown to Moana (Lake Brunner) "up Mosquito".
Gold Trail is an amazing ride through the history of the West Coast and the Gold Trails that both our ancestors and many Chinese walked, in the search for their riches of the Gold of the West Coast. You’ll start in the history created of Shantytown.
Until the Gold Trail Mountain Bike Ride there had never been a peloton of mountain bike rider’s ride down the Main Street of Shantytown.
The events goes up Mosquito Creek and is approximately 40km in distance (this may vary year to year due to harvesting). If you are a first-time rider to an elite rider - then this is the bike ride for you. You're going to see some of the untouched beauty of the West Coast of New Zealand. The beauty of the nature creeks, ferns, pungas, the mighty Rimu trees and natural flowing creeks, coupled with the forestry roads with plenty of surprises.
What a ride to enjoy some of the countries best Untamed scenery.
