Had planned on that, but the weather changed in the last few hrs of the ride. It was a shame that route didn't have any good swimming rivers. all a bit muddy. That will change in the South Island
Lovely video so glad I discovered your rides, it’s dark cold and wet here in the UK as I sit and watch your latest cycle in Kiwiland. I’ve cycled New Zealand many times but not been since 2008 all being well I’m gonna be taking 6 weeks Jan to March 2026 and doing the TA so looking forward to your South Island adventure. My next bike packing trip will be The Badger Divide in Scotland come the Spring but that’s ages away so watching you and dreaming of TA 26 will have to do for now.
Its a hard passion when the weather isn't good. I've been dreaming about the South island since finishing the North. Badger Divide looks great. One day I'd like to try bikepacking over seas. Dream trip would be the GDMBR
Another great video, thanks heaps Carl.
All good fun. Learning with every trip. Not only the riding, but the filming and editing. Thanks for the feedback
Love the small town vibe and laid back pace on your small roads. Good luck on the South Island.
Cycling definately makes you take your time and appreciate towns that you would normally speed past in the car. Thanks
Well done guys. Waiting for you to run into the water at the end.

@ Now that really is a great adventure ride, hope you get to do it sometime.
Were you guys on electric bikes?
