Bike Central Otago, Carrocktown trailride, mountain biking New Zealand
Check it out in 1080p HD. Mountain bike riding in Central Otago. Carricktown trailride, near Cromwell. Hard climb up at times steep 4WD track. Down hill was great, pretty rutted and rocky in places. Last GOPRO video file of downhill was corrupted due to it getting more rocky and bumpy in one section. Great ride though, worth a look.It is almost a loop track with just a 4 Km bike back to car on road. Cyclists are Josh and Wayne. Music By Kirk Pearson - Pollinate and Caballo - not feelin da vibe.

The BEST Central Otago Wineries in New Zealand!!!
The BEST Central Otago Wineries in New Zealand!!!
New Zealand is famous for its wines. In Central Otago, NZ, we checked out five different wineries. It was surprising to see many opened wineries because we went there during the off-season (winter months in the Southern Hemisphere). It was a great opportunity to check out these wineries without the large crowds. We checked out these wineries:
-Akarua Wineries
-The Lazy Dog Wineries
-Mt. Difficult Winerieis
-Wild Earth Winerieis
-Aurum Wineries
All of these places produced some of best wines I have ever tasted. If you've never been to New Zealand, make sure you m ake a visit to the wineries in South Island, New Zealand. I promise you won't regret it. Remember- THE VOYAGE IS CONTAGIOUS!!!!

Description: Motorists and Cyclists Sharing the Road!
A taste of cycling in New Zealand. Not for the faint hearted! In New Zealand the biggest adrenalin rush you can find is alongside a New Zealander in a car. Please note I have been told by the local Police that there is no offence in putting the shits up a cyclist unless they actually hit you, so if you are thinking of a cycle tour, think long and hard, and if you are ready for an adrenalin rush with that distinctive Kiwi flavour get some good insurance and jump in! To give you an idea of scale, at the start of the video the distance from the yellow line in the middle of the road to the white boundary line is 2.9 meters, taking into account the width of the lane, the width of my bicycle 0.7 meters and the Mitsubishi Canter (the White truck) about 2.0 meters you now have the same appreciation of the clearance and information as the Police were given.The last piece of road in the video is only 5.22 meters wide in total (both lanes)and is on the blind brow of a hill, with a 100KPH speed limit, take the width of two cars from that and my 700mm handle bars and you start to get an idea of the rush you are in for. The camera is a ContourHD 1080p and is mounted to the seat stay with a handlebar mount so the clearance looks more than it actually is and the wide angle lens also exaggerates the gap.
