This is nice single track that follows the Clutha River from Clyde to Alexandra, you can leave the track there and head into Alexandra for refreshments with great cafes very close by on Centennial Avenue
Once refreshed you can head back to the trail and begin your journey on the Roxburgh Gorge Trail. You will pass under the Alexandra bridge and past the historic bridge piers. The Manuherikia River joins the Clutha and you enter into the Gorge within 1 km of the track start. The transition from urban to remote is almost immediate. The gorge is awesome in all aspects. You will climb gently till you reach Butcher's Creek a good opportunity to stop and look at the old gold workings. You then head onto Doctors Point your turn around point
From here you have two options - ride back the way you came or you may wish to cross the Alexandra bridge and come back via the Otago Central Rail Trail rather than go back the River track
