Ride the Wilderness

City insight: Ross

Ross is a small town in the Westland District on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, about 27 kilometres south-west of Hokitika. It lies about 46 kilometres north-east of Hari Hari by road. The West Coast has a mild, wet maritime climate, with cool winters and summers that are warm but rarely hot, so the drier months from late summer into autumn, roughly February to April, are generally the most comfortable for running or racing, though rain can fall at any time of year.
