Written by New Zealand’s top cycling writer, the book is aimed at family groups and first-time cyclists as well as more experienced groups. It’s accompanied by colour photos, elevation profiles and maps of each trail.
This new fully revised edition also provides an introduction to Tour Aotearoa which goes from Cape Reinga to Bluff. It’s a 3000-km length of New Zealand ride, taking in many of the Great Rides, and connecting them together with the safest and most enjoyable roads and tracks available. The route is fully open to the public. It can be done in one highly adventurous hit, or divided up into shorter lengths and completed over a period of time.
