There’s not been a huge amount of planning put into this particular adventure for the simple reason that I hadn’t planned on doing it.
My original intention for my time in New Zealand was to buy a car and cruise around the country hitting all the spots in a recently acquired camper van, however a small hole presented itself in that plan when I lost my driving license in Patagonia.
That trigger point somewhat forced me to explore my options and has lead me to the Tour Aotearoa – a 3000km ride from Cape Reinga in the north to Bluff in the south.
It sounds epic and despite having not been on a bike for 3 months, I figure my legs are good for it.
All I need now is a bike, some cycling gear and a way of getting to the start and I’d be golden.
