Ride Reports
Interested in the Old Ghost Road? Here is a link to a trip the Tregurtha’s did, thanks to the Christchurch Singletrack Club and the businesses involved.
Kids Rides
Due to lack of personnel to look after this area there is nothing currently in line specifically for kids. However, many competent young children take part in the Core Loop race at the Summer Series. If you have an interest in organising this area of the club email rebekah@singletrack.org.nz
PAST RIDES
November 2011 – Saturday 5th November from Governors Bay to Living Springs and back, will start riding at about 1.30pm and will be riding for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours depending on how many laps of Living Springs Lower Loop we do.
Will assemble at car parks on Jetty road opposite Governors Bay Hotel from there we will ride around the Foreshore track to Allendale reserve then up into the start of Living Springs Loop track in the Farm Park, will ride one complete loop including new tracks currently being built ( may do 2nd lap depending on amount of enthusiasm shown ) then return to Governors Bay via Foreshore track again.
This is a social ride for all existing, new and potential CSC members & people who haven’t ridden Living Springs before “ it is not a race “. An intermediate level of riding ability & fitness would be recommended for this ride. Please also bring some local currency with you as there will most likely be a need to Re-hydrate and tell stories at the hotel after the ride.
