No nonsense cycle threads

Longitude 1563450.89; latitude 5501652.9 lands you out west from the top of New Zealand's South Island, roughly the location of Kahurangi National Park and Jamie Nicoll's latest adventure - continuing his mission of exploring Aotearoa by 4x4 and mountain bike.

Tom Woodward and his crew spent three years toiling in often extreme conditions to construct the Pike29 Memorial Track. He has captured the story in a ripping short film that recently picked up a gong at the NZ Mountain Film Festival.

Dave Mitchell continues his ride down memory lane with 35mm transparency photos of dinkum backcountry adventures at the birth of mountain biking in NZ.
