No nonsense cycle threads

Dave Mitchell gets an early taste of Reefton’s brand new Globe Hill Track. A rewarding mix of single track and regenerating bush, along with old and recent mining history.

Dave and Ditte explore Valle Maira on the Italian-French border – a less-discovered mountainous playground with expansive alpine plateaus, art at every corner and military roads along every remote ridge-line.

Jane Shearer and Chris Nelson recommend taking it slow to explore the centre-north of Mongolia by bike. People are friendly and unhurried – there’s nowhere to go in a rush across the steppe.
