Details
179.3 km
2,407 m
Saturday. 2 options, drive to Haast which is 30km along the coast where the climb over the haast pass starts, making it a 141km day to lake Wanaka. or ride the first 30k along the flat coast as a warm up to the climb. The road from Haast gradually follows the river up the valley to a height of 560m over 60km, with a stiff section about 55-60km, then what looks like a very fast decent to around 400m and a easy ride along the edge of the lakes to Wanaka, staying at Chalet (fancy word for 2 storey motel)
