From Oamaru go south on highway one for 26 kilometres, turn right into Mount Misery Road, and go 6 km till you reach Middle Ridge Road
Awesome track network. Be warned, it gets very slippery in the wet. Little signage at present so best to contact the local club for guiding. A 320m climb to begin the ride gets you well warmed up and rewards you with some great flowy and technical XC and downhill riding. Features can be avoided though if need be. New tracks are being developed currently so keep up with details on the Mountain Biking North Otago facebook page.
