Richmond trail - not suitable in winter
Departure from Tekapo is at 8am. You must book the day before by email, phone, or pop in to BeSpoke Bikes, 8 Simpson Lane, Tekapo. The Richmond Trail is best ridden starting from the Roundhill Ski Access Road. It is a 35km shuttle from Tekapo to a locked gate on the ski access road. Start riding from the locked gate (we can’t get through the gate). It is 3km uphill with a 12% gradient at times, to the Richmond Trail sign on the right. The trail is 13km across to Boundary Stream on Lilybank Road and has grade 4 status. The trail travels along an old glacial terrace through tussocks and patches of native vegetation. On a fine day you get sweeping views of Lake Tekapo and the surrounding mountains. NOTE; WE DO NOT HIRE E-BIKES FOR THIS TRAIL.
$40 per bike, shuttle $70.00.
