No nonsense cycle threads

Huw Kingston spends 5 days on a slice of the Munda Biddi Trail in Western Australia in preparation for the Alpine Odyssey Aotearoa, a 90 day, 4000 kilometre traverse of New Zealand on bikes towing skis. Joined by great mate Laurence Mote (one time Ground Effect staffer) they depart 25 June, plan to ski all 24 Kiwi ski fields en route and raise $75,000 for climate adaptation projects in the South Pacific.

Emma Bateup completes the Great Southern Brevet. 1100 km of gravel and farm track over four and a half gruelling days through the extremes of Central Otago weather – horizontal rain, snow storms, blistering heat and strong winds – mostly from the wrong direction.

Cati Pearson & Tysin Langridge experience the many stunning highs and lost lows of the Tour du Mont Blanc.
