Bridge to Bridge 2026

Bridge to Bridge is a mountain biking event on the south bank of New Zealand’s Waimakariri River, offering ride options from a 12km outing to a 115km Enduro. The event accommodates first-time riders, families, club riders, and stronger racers, with additional 30km and 58km distances available. The shorter rides begin at Haul Road, The Willows, and Waimakariri Gorge. The 115km option starts at Whites Crossing, which is also the finish line for all distances. Riders will follow the river past farmland and the aerodrome area. Most routes are designed to be downhill-friendly, although the 115km Enduro presents more challenge with its split of uphill and downhill sections. CJM’S Events Ltd organizes the event, and Environment Canterbury permits access along the river corridor.
