Trail Notices and Grades

We use the standard grading system for the New Zealand Cycle Trail to communication what level of fitness/ skill is needed to ride each trail.

Dogs are not allowed on several sections of the Tasman's Great Taste Trail, including Spooners Tunnel and Rabbit Island. Read Tasman District Council's bylaw on dogs and other animals on Tasman's Great Taste Trail here.

Please Take Care : Norris Gully DETOUR in place due to logging operations Monday 12 May to early July 2025

The detour involves a 100m section where cyclists will share the road with logging trucks.

Please ensure you not move onto this section until you are sure it is clear, or a logging truck on the section is stationery.

There will be some gravel on the detour but it will not be to our normal trail standard so please take extra care.

Follow any instructions from OneFortyOne staff and contractors who may ask you so to wait until it is safe to pass.

Trail Grades and Safety

Our trails have been graded according to the trail grade standards set out by NZ Cycle Trails. You can read them here.

We recommend riders are fit and well prepared and we encourage you to know your limits and choose a trail that's suitable for all the riders in your group. Also be aware that there are areas on the trails where there is no cellphone reception. You may want to carry a Personal Locator Beacon in these areas. Check network coverage here.

We recommend you check the weather before starting the trail. Check it here.
