The A2O team shared last year's trail survey with us and we love the data and outcomes which the trail provides for our cyclists. How good is that result!

Short on time? - we have day trips from our Ōamaru, Twizel, Hokitika, and Nelson depots, to give you a taste of the trails. We think it’s the perfect day out with the family over the summer period.

Thanks Kathy for sending in the review of your day trip out of our Ōamaru depot.

The spectacular Great Taste Trail - With a chance to spend time in the fabulous Abel Tasman National Park, to sample the local wines and brews, to browse the galleries, and to eat all the food.
So much more than just time on the bike - It's an incredible experience.

Mention this trail to our staff and they are dragging their bikes out before we can get the accommodation confirmed - a true favourite.

Graeme Slatter is a most excellent Long Haul shuttle driver, based out of our Twizel depot but he is also much much more than this.
Last month Graeme was awarded a Gold Star service medal for 25 years of service to the Aoraki/Mt Cook and Twizel communities Fire Service.(only 7% of NZs fire fighter members achieve this record!)
Thank you for your service Graeme. 🏅
