New Zealand South Island Bike Packing EPIC trip!
I had some time off in between jobs and what better way to spend it than cycling almost 1,000 km on my own through the spectacular scenery of the South Island of New Zealand.
I was a bit nervous before I set out on this trip, mainly because I knew it was gonna be freaking tough on the legs; but I soon realised that it was as tough mentally as it was physically. I think that three weeks of fighting inner demons on a bike with no ipod, has made me realise a whole bunch of new things about my personality.
This trip wouldn't have been the same without the handy tips from the local farmers, hunters and piss heads; or the never ending Q&A I had going on with the dudes ay my local bike shop. So thanks.

Hot and Windy - The Richmond Trail, Lake Tekapo | MTB Trail Magic
On a hot, windy day, Robert and I decided to go for a ride on the Richmond Trail near Lake Tekapo. We've wanted to do this since we saw it on BKXC's first trip to New Zealand, with its long high speed descents across the alpine tussock-land. We also thought it would be a good introduction to blue trails for our mate Lee, who has only ever done green trails nearer to home.
