    I was planning on heading there on Saturday, weather looks cold and dry. I heard that the two longest trails are closed because of work on the wind farm. I was really keen on the 50km route has anyone attempted it since closures?

    The bigger loops are closed off with fencing and gates, you will be turned back by workers Monday to Saturday, on Sundays you may well be able to sneak around, but up by the wind farm works roadways etc are constantly changing. I regularly ride extended White loops which add up to about 45-55km, but to be honest you would need a very good local knowledge to add up all the various piste and off-piste bits to put it together.
