Brilliant! 77 years old, haven't ridden a bike for probably 50 years! Love Central Otago, lots of tramping, but to watch these videos now from the comfort of covid Auckland a real blessing. Many thanks.
Boom ! With your lovely comment it makes the effort to film, edit & upload feel worthwhile. Thank you Jim. Let hope we get to the 90% mark soon and earn a bit more freedom again. Central Otago is very special, amazingly beautiful on one hand but also incredibly raw & rugged... Cant wait to get back there. Thanks for watching and the nice comment. Gary & Susie
Sensational work you two, love the contrast of barren beauty in Central Otago. Always wanted to get up among the outcrops above the Clutha there, so many cool tracks using natural features. Very watchable, thanks again.
Hi Guys great video as usual, Just wondering where you looped the trail back to Alex and Cyde. have looked at this a few times and been put off with the so called boat trip. You seemed to have avoided that..or did you not go that far? and where did you loop back. Looks absolutely amazing and want to do this soon. Love your work Gaz and Suz!
Hey Jeff, you're spot on we didn't go to the end of the gorge instead @7:20 we turned right and climbed up and did a loop around the flat top hills, then back down the gorge and back to Clyde the same way. Hopefully we didn't miss the best bits, the gorge is a super scenic ride and we didn't mind at all riding some bits twice. Hope you can make an adventure out of this somehow.
Another awesome vid G&S....You really do a great job of immersing the viewer in the trail and surroundings I reckon! I just read your reply to me in your last Paparoa vid....I'll be in Queenstown,Wanaka and Alex for a couple of weeks and will definitely be following your wheels on this one...Thanks! Cheers
Hi Chris, glad you caught this one and can use it on your road trip. Its a spectacular ride that's even more epic , dramatic and colorful in real life. You will have a magic trip down there guaranteed. I'm not sure when I'll edit it but I did make a bad video of a new track off coronet peak called hot rod. Its only a 15min track but its amazingly well built .. no make that engineered. If you get the chance give it a go it works for all levels of riders too. Argh now you've got me thinking of going on holiday again. G&S
@@getoutside519 Hey there G&S....Brilliant time down there last Dec/Jan...Coronet Peak-Rude Rock-Hot Rod a real fun downhill!(Looking fwd to your vid?) I read a comment that you're riding Paparoa for the 4th time....Pike 29 included?....I did a ridethru on the Paparoa with absolutely perfect weather but my gopro footage was lost,so coming back this Dec/Jan and will do Pike 29 too-open or not. Cheers guys

Thanks. Partly tramped the Paparoa and Old Ghost tracks in the past, now I can see the bits I missed!
