They say you don’t find your riding style, your riding style finds you. Whichever way it goes, I think they found each other. This is my big bro @xelasuave getting into the swing of things on his first bike tour in Tasmania. My fave comment from week one – “So do you guys ever shower? Are people sneaking off for a wash somewhere?” Welcome to the dirtbag life 😂

There are some times when, even a little bit more so than all the other times, you know that being on a bike is the best way to explore a place. This was one of those times ☝️👌

My long-suffering and very tolerant beast of burden ❤️

After WhatsApp flirting with Neeson, a friend of a friend, we finally met up and rode some sort of alternative Alps to Ocean route together. • I highly recommend Flanagan’s pass between Twizel and lake Ohau. • Also be weary of chasing cyclists downhill who after a couple of descents casually mention they used to be a downhiller. Melted brake pads and one warped rotor later...

Pūkaki and Aoraki doing their evening thing.

Joy riding up the Macaulay and Godley valleys north of Tekapo. • Macaulay hut is truly phenomenal, and has a fighting shot at being the most homely hut I’ve ever visited - it’s certainly in the top five for most loved and cared for. • In Autumn these valleys also have loads of mushrooms, which makes for an excellent garlic mushrooms on toast breakfast.
