This is a cue sheet for the Balclutha to Roxburgh Bicycle Map. You can print it out for later use.

Cumulative Distance Where Notes Direction Elevation
0km 0km Balclutha This is a quiet route to Central Otago from Balclutha. Starting from the northern end of the bridge... NE 25° 8m
15.22km 15.22km Pukeawa This is a pleasant road, a few rolling hills, going upstream so uphill overall, with views of the Clutha and typical lush pasture (and sheep) all around. WNW 289° 39m
19.9km 4.68km There are some side roads here that would make for an interesting loop or even a route to Dunedin, if you didn't mind some gravel roads. NW 297° 29m
24.19km 4.28km Clydevale Turn left just after the school - the turn is well signposted. If you carry on towards Tuapeka Mouth you can get to Lawrence but expect a few big hills with some steep sections (worse if you were coming the other way, I think) WSW 236° 34m
26.15km 1.96km Clydevale Don't think there are any shops but there is a garage which may sell some food. NNW 350° 28m
26.57km 0.42km Clydevale After a few rolling hills just out of Clydevale the road on this side of the river is much flatter, just a gradual cruise upriver WNW 290° 47m
61.99km 35.42km Beaumont There's a pub here that also offers backpacker accommodation (and possibly camping?) ESE 99° 47m
62.25km 0.26km Beaumont Take care crossing the bridge. The start of the Millennium track is off the carpark near the end of the bridge and well signposted. There are a number of gates which may or may not be open or locked, depending on time of year, so you may need to be prepared to lift your bike over gates. The surface is unsealed but firm. One small hill but otherwise flat going. Keep an eye out for wandering stock. E 85° 51m
77.84km 15.6km Lonely Graves Somewhere in this section of the track you pass the "Lonely Graves" where somebody's darling and the man who buried somebody's darling are buried. NNW 333° 0m
84.95km 7.1km Miller's Flat There is (or was) a small store here and a motor camp. Also a bridge across the Clutha if you want to get back on the main drag. NNW 329° 0m
102.63km 17.68km Roxburgh Roxburgh has shops, accommodation etc. Good place to stop before heading on to Alexandra. W 261° 0m
