"...be a great place for a snack if we had one" 😄

Nice one Joe! I bumped into you after you came off Pisa - cycling with Katy. Great to meet you, and hope the knee comes right - see you at the next one!

Is there a minimum gear requirement or anything or is it just up to you what you want to take?

Kudos mate , never ignore knee pain

Tough day at the office! Look after yourself and take the time to fully recover.

Madmen! Respect on this race, the distances are incredible. I like the idea of doing it but don't think I could put myself through the physical suffering 😅

you have any details on your cockpit setup? I see profile design bars, but which ones did you choose? Fred bar? etc??

VERY SMART TO KNOW WHEN TO BOW OUT. YOU AND RUFUS WOULD BE GREAT ON TOUR DIVIDE 2025, PACK THE BEAR SPRAY THOUGH. ......😁

Good to see a new video. Really enjoy them. A shame you scratched but you will come back stronger

Sometimes you’re the hammer, sometimes you’re the nail! Good to see 200 odd bodies for this type of event! Do you feel that these events are gaining momentum in NZ? Thanks for the video Joe.

Just found your Chanel and really enjoying your rides. Seeing parts of NZ that I have never seen. Thanks

make sure you're getting enough fish oil, krill oil, etc in your diet. As an elite athlete your fatty acid requirements will be different than the average Joe. No pun intended 😄

Thanks for sharing! I watched the dots for a bit, the videos after the fact are way better 👌🏻

Great that you took it on, wise that you pulled the plug, and thank you for sharing it all anyways. Hope you have a fantastic PT.

And no snakes! Gorgeous

Somehow, it's comforting to know even legends have bad days and gear mares. Sure you will both be back killing it soon.

Shame Joe, but good call. Sort of ironic I saw you just as you were scratching! Good luck with the rehab. See you out there somewhere!

Great vid as always Joe. Shame about the knee but I'm happy you decided to listen to your body. Rest up/ hit the physio and no rushes to jump into the next one from any of us, we'll still be waiting! Cheers bro

yeah joe! would be so sick to see you in banff come june, I have to go back again.

Absolutely awesome to hear you're targeting your divide!!

Nice touch. Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update & good that you didn't suffer any major disasters (your dot still shows on the road up to Mt Pisa). Good luck preping for the TD!

Was following you shame about Rufus as well just means you have more adventures ahead. Until next time (it was still enjoyable to watch the dots) 😊

This one wasn’t to be, but thanks for taking us along. Still made for a good video and looking forward to future adventures.

Legend!

A great watch team loved it and the incredible beauty of Aotearoa.

In March 2003, Dave Mitchell, Jo Arts and Pete Braggins did exactly the same trip. A lot more rideable then. They also did West to East over Browning Pass and North to South. dUrville to Port Craig all of road. There’s a challenge for you Jo.

Looked like “fun” (If you can maintain a sense of humour)😂. I think I would have been just on the right side of pissed off! Fish and chips for the win! Great video, thanks to both of you for having us along and taking the time to document it. Cheers!

Love the bromance!

Geezz mate, you really like the punishment don't you> Well done anyway ,to come home first in the those conditions is a remarkable achievement.

AWESOME TO SEE YOU AND RUFUS DOING A TRIP TOGETHER. .....

Mate love watch you two just going on goofy adventures.

You entered Arthurs Pass National Park. It is illegal to take a bike into the Park Great idea to put your crimes up on UA-cam. The moment a bikers arse hits the seat the entitled penis thinking starts

You two are absolute nails!! How’s Rufus’s bike holding up?

Nice one Joe! Thanks for sharing! I took a tip and used TT cups when I did HT 550 last year. Real back saver!

What were the two of you thinking king!!! That was completely mental.

conjuring up rides then getting around to them 8 years later is also my speciality

I tramped Harpers Pass 2-3 decades ago, and it would never have occurred to me back then that some maniacs would actually ride the thing on mountain bikes. Back then the only way to ride it was via a horse trekking operation, so awesome stuff guys!

Thanks for the inspiration Joe and Rufus

are there not many ticks in NZ? that bush bashing would be scary in europe or the US

Nice job guys, that's a proper mission!

Great effort, great music👌

ur my idol

top effort as ever lads

What is Rufus' bike? Its a beauty. Steel frame?

Mate! What an adventure! I bet the beds were tempting at that stage with the weather the way it was! Great work! Love your videos! Keep up the awesome work!

Where did you guys sleep at 7:13? Community center? School?

Joe, do you ever ride road bikes? Or strictly mountain and gravel?

He sheep. You boys not from Southland then.

I took my bike for a walk over Harper Pass this time last year, your video brings back so many memories - thanks. I have to agree with your title 'Never Ride the Harper Pass'. Unless you love a big grovel with some rewarding cool section's too 🙂.
