here is my wish list of places i would to ride this year
queen charlotte track
picton marlborough sounds south island
86 km of off road riding around the marlborough sounds - i would like to do this ride on my mountain bike this time (i did this ride about this time last year on my bike friday and had a few things break (the chain and rear derailleur) and so did most of the ride in 2 gears (with a lot of pushing up the hills) on the bike i may even get the boat to take most of my gear this time (most people get the boat to take the over night gear)
otago central rail trail
clyde to middlemarch about 150+km along the disused railway
I frist did this ride in 2006 on my old bike (the one that was stolen at the Levin A&P late January 2008)and then in january 2009 on the bike friday it is a nice easy ride with no big hills as it is on a disused railway line with lots of things to get photos of the the trail goes thought gorges,tunnels and over old viaducts) there is a few places(and rides near the trail-dunstan trail( a way from alexandra to dunedin (big maybe?) naseby - a small town 12km from ranfurly) that i would like to go to as well when i do the rail trail next time
lake taupo fun ride -not the 160km ride but 2x around the lake ( 320 km) some time in november

The mountain bike sounds like a good choice for that ride, you don't want to break Bike Friday again! Is it a problem getting parts for the Bike Friday? Do they have to come in from America?
90 % of my bike friday uses the same parts as most bikes so I can get parts from most bike's shops it's one of the things I like a bout bike friday - a lot of other folding bike have odd parts that can be hard to find
