Tairāwhiti Gisborne Ride 35
Former professional road racing cyclist and podcaster Mitch Docker crossed the ditch to switch off and embark on a bikepacking adventure on the East Coast's Ride 35.
Read all about Mitch's 550km, five-and-a-half-day bikepacking loop on a route that loosely follows the infamous Highway 35.
Starting and finishing in Gisborne, it's a hidden gem that took Mitch around the East Coast of New Zealand’s North Island, soaking up Māori culture, enjoying a few cleansing ales with some local legends and finding out more about the region along the way.
