Thanks so much to Tapanui for this years Panning the Pomahaka Cavalcade – It was truly awesome.
But now we look forward to 2014 and gate crashing the Art Deco Celebrations in Ranfurly! A parade right through town, stalls, bands, eating and drinking el fresco on the closed off – nice wide streets of Ranfurly in the afternoon – Dinner and Hoe-down in the evening…
What’s the Cavalcade all about? Flick through the pages of this book next time you’re in a book shop.
Big news this year is that we will be incorporating a payment option to start paying for your trail fees! 3 installments of $200 through the year and then the last payment (dependent on what host town options you choose) before the trail start – the Cavalcade has never been more affordable!
Click the links below to pay your first installment towards next years Goldfields Cavalcade to Ranfurly.
For galleries of photos from the last Cavalcade click here.

any idea what the riding trails leaving points are yet? Id like to start installments but also want to know which ride to do based on country I havent covered before, is there any leaving from around Outram side or Naseby kydeburn area? Id rather start paying off a trail in an area Id like to ride thru.
