Used to live in Rangiora, so explored the routes well. Nice to go back there for day rides.

Located on corner of Williams and Charles St, opposite the fabulously restored and repurposed historic BNZ Building. You can park your bike around back in the car park.

And from Waikuku Beach, an option is to take the quiet Kaiapoi Pa Road through to Pegasus (there are a couple of access paths into Pegaus near where Kaiapoi Pad Road becomes Preeces Road). Then take the pathway between the gold course and western edge of Pegasus township, all the way through to Gladstone park, where you can pick up the cycleway through to Woodend.

Will be great when the Kaiapoi to Woodend cycleway is complete!
