Winter Itinerary (1st May - 30th September) 

Even though the sun setting on the West Coast provides good daylight into the evening, it is still limited throughout the Autumn/Winter period. With this in mind we have come up with a brilliant revision to our itinerary that we run from May through to September.

Why Cycle from Ross to Greymouth?

• The ascent to the highpoint on Kawheka Pass is completed over a much shorter distance by riding in this direction. Once at the top, you get to ride towards the views as you descend into Kumara. This is in comparison to a gradual but consistent climb away from the views when riding in the other direction.  
  
  
• The difficulty with securing suitable accommodation around the mid point of the trail is avoided by having two nights in Hokitika, allowing a relaxed two night stay. Plus there are many amazing things to see and do in Hokitika.
  
  
• The dominant southerly wind is often behind the rider for the distance from Ross to Kawheka Pass.
  
  
• Ending in Greymouth times in perfectly with taking the TranzAlpine Express train for a spectacular finish into Christchurch on Day 4. There are also bus services departing Greymouth as well as the options for groups to book a Cycle Journeys custom shuttle.
