Seeking out those little dotted lines on the maps 🗺🧐

Sun beams and snow flurries

A fine jaunt around the Dundas hut loop in the northern Tararuas. • We went in on Saturday morning, up to Herepai hut, along the tops, and dropped down to stay the night at Dundas hut. • On Sunday we walked out over Cattle Ridge, past Roaring Stag hut and back to the Putara road end carpark. • 👌 A+ would trade again.

A fine wee Aorangi crossing and south coast loop. From Martinborough, to Sutherlands hut, Cape Palliser, white rock and back to Martinborough. · Here’s some bike bag nerdery, as everyone in Aotearoa is gearing up for the Tour Aotearoa 2020: · Front bag: Revelate harness and Ortlieb PS21R dry bag. Both good. · Feed bags: Revelate. Kinda ugly, but bloody handy. . Frame bag: Porcelain Rocket 52hz. Still the best bike luggage I own. · Rear bag: Wayward Riders Louise Dropper Post harness. Moderately good. Guy who makes them is a bit odd.

I’ve got a new job. My first team meeting involved trying to cross the Pisa range on mountain bikes. · It also involved an insanely incredible meal in Meg hut carried and cooked by @davekelbe. · Turns out we were a bit early in the season and above 1800m it was still, umm, quite snowy. · If only were were a company that worked with satellite imagery and could have checked how snowy it was before going there 🤔 · It was still very much super fun good times though. A++++ would trade again.
