Tour Aotearoa: A Gonzo Cycling Guide

The TA (Tour Aotearoa) is a bicycle trail running the length of New Zealand but with kinks in it. The result: 3000 kilometres of trail that is in your backyard. Many Kiwis see some of it, dabble with bits of it. Few go the whole hog.

‘For someone like Duncan Coutts to even attempt Tour Aotearoa is pure madness. But sometimes a little madness can take a person a long way. In this case, a very, very long way. This irreverent and at times insightful account of bikepacking the length of New Zealand is a unique mixture of fun, humour and, in a strange way, inspiration. If Duncan and Homer can do it, anyone can! I’m so glad you made it Duncan. Congratulations! Pedal on! Jonathan, the man of few words.’ Jonathan Kennett: co-creator of Tour Aotearoa
