The definitive where-to-ride guide for cycling in New Zealand

Rapaki

Regional Ride

Canterbury , South Island

This is the easiest track from Christchurch onto the Port Hills, and used to be an old Maori trail.

From the end of Rapaki Rd take a gradual 4WD track 260m to Summit Rd. From here you can either head back the way you came or turn it into a loop by riding around to one of the other Port Hill tracks.

Be careful because this track is frequently enjoyed by walkers, runners, and even horses, so take it easy going downhill.
