For a ‘don’t leave town until you’ve seen the country’ experience we had a lovely mini break by biking from home ( central ChCh ) to Little River and stayed the night at the Silo accommodation. The journey back the next day was memorabke for the clouds of midges and a brooding kamikaze magpie. Neither were avoidable. What was avoidable however, was the return easterly wind which came up during the morning ride. A leisurely lunch at Lincoln, then pop the bikes on the bus and back to the city effortlessly. Not a smidgen of guilt either. Its a great trail…..
Good on you for taking the bus! We've thought about staying at the Silo accommodation (maybe venturing over the hills to create a loop ride?) so good to hear you enjoyed it.
The scenery especially across the lake is amazing
