New Zealand with One Van, Four Bikes & No Plan - Video
Guaranteed Adventure // New Zealand, One Van, Four Bikes and No Plan
Adventures don't have to be deliberate affairs. They don't need to involve remote destinations, premeditated objectives or detailed plans. Last winter, four of us explored the South Island of New Zealand in a severely clapped out van, but our adventure could have really taken place anywhere. So pack your friends in a van, or whatever vehicle you have access to, and go find some new trails to ride. Don't worry, something will go wrong.

Other responsibilities will, at some point, start to limit the opportunities you have for such adventures; so take them when they appear.
I can both look back on some epic ones, and know there will still be some more ahead. Just don't let that sense of adventure get lost.
Have a good day!
Aw man my legacy is only a 91, was shooting for a 90 same as my birth year. One day I'll own a vehicle that shitty 3
I'm a bike mechanic - if you have some qualifications or experience you can get work almost anywhere, and usually where there are good trails.
I worked in Sydney, Aus last year. Currently working in the rental shop at Cardrona Alpine Resort (I get to ride park laps in my lunch break). Moving to Christchurch soon, mechanic at evo cycles. It's not the best paid job (though the pay in sydney was crazy good), but you get to work in some sick places.
Nah man, well-maintained vans are too much cash for me. Even a hiace will suffer when it's been owned by a string of backpackers!
