Kill Devil Spur

On the edge of Kahurangi National Park is some unbelievable mountainbiking, with an unbelievable name, Kill Devil Spur. The name predates the cycling, having been donated by early explorers for reasons unknown.

The challenges are massive, climbing from sealevel to the mountaintops (1800m+) over 44kmm of single track with little fresh water available. there is the bonus of a hut named Riordans, and another named Waingaro Forks. An unusual aspect to the ride is that it goes from private land into the National Park, where Mountain biking is usually not allowed, but it is here.
