New Zealand has a lot to offer adventure riders. Ian Bowden highlights some superb, easily accessible adventure-riding destinations at the top end of the South Island.
I hadn’t planned to do this trip solo, but the two friends I usually ride with couldn’t make it and my work commitments allowed a short window of opportunity.
The next issue was the very changeable weather at that time of the year. To most of us Spring means new growth and improving weather, but the reality of the South Island is it rains and blows a lot. I’ve learned to use my phone to monitor the situation, and I intended to visit friends during any bad weather.
