The Golden Downs Trail links Tasman's Great Taste Trail with Nelson Lakes National Park.
It follows picturesque country roads over two saddles and requires an intermediate level of fitness and road touring experience.
A guide can be found here on the NZ Cycle Trail website.
The Golden Downs Trail can be used to link to The Rainbow Trail which takes cycles all the way to the alpine resort village of Hanmer Springs in North Canterbury.
