Absolutely loving this adventure content, Katy! You've been doing exactly the kind of rides that get me most fired up these days ♥. You're going to smash that big ride!
Hi Katy, good to see you out and about in NZ back country again. Been over those roads a few times now so know what lies ahead of you. Have a good trip.
Go Katy! I did the GSB in 2021. Epic hardtail was my bike and made it through. Loved watching your footage of the Nevis - so many river crossings and yes lube was reapplied many times. I wish you a wonderful adventure in 2025....and take winter gloves.
Great video's 🙌🏼 you do spend some time in amazing places, nothing like a bit of scenery to distract from the grind. Good luck with big mission! It looks massive, you've got it 🫡
Great Job Katy, I did that the opposite way around. I had a head wind the whole way but didnt have the hill climb. think the hill climb is easier than a head wind. Lumsden to Kingston is a great ride too, apart from all the gates on one section, north of five rivers. I have never done the Nevis on my bike, cheated a number of times and did it in a 4wd. Awesome country in there. it is on my bucket list. That section from Garston to Bannockburn through the Nevis Valley has a year MTB race. Called the Gut buster, normally done in November each year. Takes the first place getters between 3-4 hours depending on gender.
Katy, your video popped into my feed and by a strange coincidence I’ve planned to ride that track in early March. A little bit suspicious? Thank you for a great ride ..it has been good to see the actual track. Maybe the weather will be better for me?🤣
I had little clip on aero bars for my first cape epic (on my 580 bars! this was 2013...), I didnt the second year. had numbness along my index fingers for a few months after but it came right.
Another lovely wee video, love a night in a bivy, route looks lush (again!)

Glorious. NZ certainly offers extraordinary scenery. Looks like home, but amped x10!

That area is so like Scotland!!! Maybe the Cairngorms?
