Look out for the Mountains to Sea page, a must if you want a day's adventure riding to New Zealand's Bridge to Nowhere, ending with a jet boat ride down the Whanganui River.

Right up there on the must-do rides is the Alps 2 Ocean track. Starting in the Southern Alps and ending in Oamaru, this 301km ride has something for everyone. It is divided into nine sections.
