Completely last minute I'm coming out to the South Island from the UK for a month as of next week.
Whilst I'd love to bring my bike, realistically it's going to be a pain to travel with/store securely when I'm not using it.
I know I can hire in the more touristy spots/trail centres but if anyone is interested in meeting up in some of the lesser known/more epic spots that would be great (and if you're willing to lend/sell me a spare ride; awesome :-D )
Going to try to get up to the Nationals race in Wanaka and super keen for some backcountry riding/bikepacking if possible.
