Hi People
I am heading to Naseby  on Sunday and have heard that some places in Central Otago and Wanaka have closed due to fire danger and highwinds  so if anyone can help and tell me that would be great. If it is closed i will be heading to Alexandra instead

Don't think Kila's at the Royal anymore. He runs a bike repair/hire/tour store now 
But if you give 0800 NASEBY (the Royal Hotel number) a call, I'm sure someone there will be able to tell you.

I'm pretty sure it's open but if you want to know for sure, ring the info centre - 03 4449961 and they can give you Kila's number too - he's left the Naseby pub & now has his own bike shop etc in the old Masonic Lodge (real easy to find - just on the main road into town, opposite the domain). (I grew up down there :+) Primo place to get out and about) I think he does some rides through the forest on Monday nights too if you're still there then...

Go to Alexandra and ride with Dougal and Herbman
Naseby will be mobbed if it isn't closed.

Alex is worth 10 Nasebys.
I have to go to a family thing in Hanmer soon, hope the forests aren't closed like last time.
Not sure I could endure another weekend of town/hotpools in a state of babyboomer saturation without riding.

Maybe only in size.. 
Matter of personal preference I suppose. I agree with XCrider - nice flowy singletrack will always win me over than technical, rocky tracks 
Have fun in Naseby!
