Wednesday evening Alexandra rides


Another great ride over in Alexandra with the boys from Henderson Cycles. Jimmy and Phil do a great wednesday night shop ride, leaving at 6pm sharp. There has been quite a loyal crew of Queentowners heading over there each week to ride the awesome trails Alex has to offer!
Last night (10/3) about 25 of us rode the infamous "Ghost Rider" trail, I have been looking forward to this trail, as have heard alot about it. It didnt dissapoint, slow, technical, tight, twisty, rocky and very tricky to ride! It was one of the most fun trails that I have ridden in NZ!
Alexandra has a very friendly riding scene, with lots of motivated locals putting together a great network of XC trails. Alot of the riding is in the baron, moon like landscape hills that surround the town. Very rocky, and some very technical tricky lines to be ridden.
Its always nice to ride something different, and this once a week trip over is proving to be quite a popular event for some of Queenstown's mountain bikers! Highly recommended!
