Loose gravel may have been a factor in a mountain bike crash on Moke Lake Rd near Queenstown on Sunday that left an English tourist with serious head injuries.
The 27-year-old was transferred from intensive care to the high dependency unit in Dunedin Hospital on Monday.
Queenstown Mountain Bike Club president Tom Hey said Moke Lake Rd was an unlikely place for a serious accident.
However, he understood it had been regravelled recently, which could have been a contributing factor.
