Read about our crazy ride through the South Island of New Zealand. Starting from Greymouth, over Hokitika and along the wild West coast, passing the Franz Josef and Fox glaciers. We beat the Haast pass, relaxed in Wanaka and headed to the highest asphalt route of New Zealands south, the crown range. We crossed the lake at Queenstown and rode through the outback down to Manapouri. Finally, we followed the Southern scenic route to Tuatapere and to Invercargill.
Over 880 km of exciting roads, paths and trails. A lot of nature and wildlife spots and challenging mountains. With a tremendous amount of impressions we managed this 12 stage tour in New Zealand end of the year 2019, beginning 2020.
