South Island NZ - Route suggestion... - 11/25/03 05:16 AM

Hi,
does anyone have any tips for the stretch of land between Christchurch and Timaru? We were told that the land is flat, windy, and potentially bike unfriendly (~120km highway). Our information is from a Lonely Planet and a kiwi from ChCh. We were curious if anyone who has done this leg has tips for sideroads or even bike paths that are as effective as the highway.

Regards,
Brad
