Muscle and Dreams - Creating the Old Ghost Road

An engaging documentary following a keen group of enthusiasts as they transform an idea for a gold miners road from the 1800s into New Zealand’s longest continuous single-track.
The 85km-long Old Ghost Road now provides mountain biking and hiking access to a part of New Zealands backcountry so wild and awe-inspiring that even those most familiar with it have to constantly pinch themselves.
