  • Here's my bike and gear check ahead of Tour Te Waipounamu, New Zealand's premier bike packing race. Spanning 1,300km over the length of the South Island, the route has several notorious hike a bike sections and plenty of technical riding to make it one of the toughest events on the bike packing calendar. Check out what I've decided to take and feel free to put your thoughts in the comments. Cheers

    All the best Joe. I have enjoyed following all your events on UA-cam and I am sure this will be no exception. I am constantly impressed that you have the energy and wherewithal to even think about switching the GoPro on and providing some commentary. Good luck!

    Awesome set up Joe! Looking forward to the TTW video. All the best on your journey to Slope Point; hopefully get some good weather down the Sth Island. A little disappointed there was no haircut reveal... I see some party action out back! Go well Joe and give it heaps!!

    Have you got the NZ base maps loaded into your Garmin so there’s not a repeat of the TD start? Looks like a good setup, keeping the weight down with all the hike a bike is a great idea. Good luck!

    Hi Joe - Fantastic result in the TTW!! Well done - just wondering what your helmet light is and the brand of the small ziplock plastic bags you're using? - they look to be a bit more "industrial" than the ones from the supermarket. Any thoughts on riding The Silk Road Mountain Race??

      hey, thanks! It's a Fenix headlight, can't remember which model sorry. Yip, I found more durable ziplock bags at a random store.

      @@joe.nation you're made for it Joe. Last year's performance was fantastic, and that was with the issues you had. You'd put the shitters up other contenders if they saw you on the start list.
