Top 10 Bikepacking trails
Bikepacking is the combination of mountain biking and minimalist camping. It provides the freedom of multi-day backcountry mountain bike riding. It’s about exploring places less traveled, both near and far, via singletrack trails, gravel, and abandoned dirt roads, carrying only the essential gear. Ride, eat, sleep, repeat, enjoy!
The Old Ghost Road is New Zealand’s longest single-track and a must-do for experienced cyclists in search of the ultimate backcountry ride. The trail’s builders have resurrected an old gold miners’ route between the ghost town of Lyell in the Buller Gorge and Seddonville on the West Coast. It’s the ability to traverse such an awesome wilderness on purpose-built, flowing track, staying overnight in remote huts, that makes the Old Ghost Road the cutting edge of cross-country mountain biking.
Remote, rugged and long, the Old Ghost Road well deserves its grade 4 (advanced) rating and should only be attempted by riders who are technically competent, fit and totally self-sufficient.
