Dunedin - Nichols Creek Switchback Track

Submitted by mike on Thu, 2009-12-03 19:30

Went for a ride with Kashi, who seemed keen on riding his Yeti Cyclocross. We went up toward swampy summit from the bullring car park and down the switchback track to leith valley.

Views from the top of swampy are worth the climb. The start of switchback track is yet to be completed with some big semi ridable ruts hidden under patches of tussock.

Once you get into the switchback proper, the fun begins, its a great piece of flowing single track, that make full use of the terrain.

Sweet, I'll be doing this on

Sweet, I'll be doing this on sun the 20th with Campbell. Last time i did it i rode up to flagstaff round the back on Whare Flat Road. I'm interested to see how the track has progressed since last time i did it.

Get anything else done? Nickols Creek, signal hill, other side of Whare Flat?

How much for the cyclocross?

How much for the cyclocross? that's the sort of quirky weirdo shit that would suit don. with a cyclocross bike and the fixie he would have a bike for everything (except mountain and road biking of course)

To be honest I was quite

To be honest I was quite taken with cyclocross bikes so you are on the money callum.

Except of course I actually do have two mountain bikes, not the best but they do the job.
