- After 3 months rehabbing my knee injury it was ambitious to take on this 1,100 km loop starting and finishing in Tekapo, New Zealand. Nevertheless, I lined up with around 200 people, which is a great sign of the growth of bike packing in NZ. I didn't make it further than the first day but was still great motivation to push the rehab hard in order to at least be in a position to try! Thanks for watching, and congrats to all those who finished the route!
Somehow, it's comforting to know even legends have bad days and gear mares. Sure you will both be back killing it soon.
This one wasn’t to be, but thanks for taking us along. Still made for a good video and looking forward to future adventures.
Absolutely awesome to hear you're targeting your divide!!
Tough day at the office! Look after yourself and take the time to fully recover.
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!
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
Good to see a new video. Really enjoy them. A shame you scratched but you will come back stronger
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 😅
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.
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) 😊
Kudos mate , never ignore knee pain
Nice touch. Thanks for the update.
yeah joe! would be so sick to see you in banff come june, I have to go back again.
VERY SMART TO KNOW WHEN TO BOW OUT. YOU AND RUFUS WOULD BE GREAT ON TOUR DIVIDE 2025, PACK THE BEAR SPRAY THOUGH. ......😁
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!
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.
Is there a minimum gear requirement or anything or is it just up to you what you want to take?
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 😄
