PAUSE FOR A MOMENT AND LOOK BACK … 🌿

It’s hard to imagine that beneath these waters once lay orchards and farms, homes and pubs, roads, bridges, and train tracks - an entire landscape before the lake was filled.

A few remnants remain: clusters of poplars, goldmining-era creeks, and scattered fruit trees, quiet reminders of the past.

Now, the hills reflect in the still waters, fishermen cast their lines, and the kārearea soars overhead searching for prey.

Take a breath. Take it all in. This is a place of beauty. ✨

“Meet the Faces Behind the Otago Central Rail Trail!
Another blog in our series shining a spotlight on some of the incredible long-term businesses that make the Rail Trail experience so special.

Next up: Meet John from Gilchrist’s Store in Oturehua!
We caught up with John to hear about his journey running a general store and postal business in Oturehua. The store is very significant as it’s New Zealand’s longest continually operating general store, founded in 1899.

Help needed!!!
We're in a bit of a situation & need your help urgently please! It's been a tough season on the trails, least of all with the current flooding issues, & we've slipped behind in our feedback survey completion rates! 😱
These surveys are vital for us to gather information about who's using the trail, what for, what we're doing well, & what we could do a little better. They are linked to our funding, and we've slipped to 50 behind! So please, if you or someone you know has walked, biked or run the trail, please ask them to spare us 10 minutes & complete the following survey for us, it really helps.

Thanks, have a safe & happy weekend!

BIG thanks to Alice and Marie from Muddy Creek Cafe in Omakau for hosting some of the team for pizza. Great location, delicious pizza and a lovely summer evening with workmates.

Keep in mind their French nights where they have a set menu based around the style of a region in France. More details on their page

Been cycling the Central Otago Winery's this summer?

Lake Dunstan Trail

What adventures are you planning as we sprint towards New Years? If you've ridden the LDT (Lake Dunstan Trail), let us know what it was like for you in the comments below.

Although we only get Christmas and Boxing day off through the busy season, it still provides some down time for reflection. Here is one of my more recent favorites checking out the Clutha Gold Trail extension as it neared completion. Long cooling tunnels with flowing tree lined downhill through the Mt Stuart Section.

They're here and they are AMAZING!

Isn’t it funny how sometimes the things that make life simple are the most difficult to explain. Our Premium Sinch E-Bikes are now out on the trails with AUTO SHIFT goodness. The bike continuously monitors your pedalling and selects the optimal gear “automagically” so you can focus on riding rather than the mechanics of riding. Instead of writing a thousand words or risking a fall while trying to capture this magic on video, here’s a sparkly animation from Shimano showing it in action. Not having to think about shifting is really rather liberating.

Need a low cost, reliable bike, that doesn't cost the earth? Friends and family visiting for summer and you'd rather they didn't "borrow" your bike? When summer is done one of the kids is off to university and needs a bike? These super value Specialized Rolls will do the trick. $235 https://www.shebikeshebikes.co.nz/product-category/bicycles/ex-rental-bike/

Wow, cold snap rolled in overnight with snow where it wasn't forecast and no snow where it was. That's why it's imperative that you are always prepared for a weather change in the South. This came off a high of 26C yesterday. Ground temperature is high as you can see no snow settling on any pavement. Tomorrow is the new release wine event and it's going to be a nice day again. If you're attending maybe bring your gumboots as it will still be wet underfoot. https://centralotagonz.com/explore/listing/alexandra-basin-winegrowers-new-release-tasting
