🌄 Join me on the Te Araroa trail, but with a twist! In this episode, I'm leaving the hiking poles behind and hopping on a bike to ride from Lake Ohau to Tekapo. 🚴‍♂️💨
Expect stunning landscapes, challenging terrain, and a lot of wind as I pedal through one of New Zealand's most scenic routes, Alps to Ocean. Despite the tough ride, the breathtaking views and the joy of biking with friends make every moment worth it. 🏞️
🔹 What's it like biking instead of hiking one of the most famous trails in the world?
🔹 How do I handle the unpredictable weather and the rugged paths?
🔹 What are the must-see spots along the way?
Watch as I share the highs and lows, the unexpected challenges, and the memorable encounters that make this journey unique. 🌟

Don't underestimated the effort that goes into cycling! 😊 I know all about it after 2230 kilometers on my bike last year! Especially if you know that I'm not a cycler, lol. I hiked quite some kilometers next to my bike when it was uphill. Good part is no backpack and rolling down a hill! 😊 Good to hike in a little group, that can be fun and practical! I'm a bit behind on watching... Have a great continuation of your hike! Kaat

Haha it’s so funny, the rental company was very serious about road safety. But fair since NZ drivers don’t love cyclists 😅

So well done. Congrats Lauren. 👏 I’m following a bike packer (cranking it) riding from Alaska to the southern tip of South America … 1.5 yrs … met him in Montana on the CDT … can you imagine?! I’ll stick to walking. Looked like you had some fun despite the winds.🚴‍♀️

Oof that’s a long bike trip! I might consider a bike pack adventure one of these days but I’d definitely look into a better seat! Haha

Pole trails = no maintenance for DOC plus no motorbikes etc but horses use that one a bit. Wild Spaniard is a pain for sure, I got stuck in a field of it in the Takitimus once, wasn't pretty 😅

Totally- from a trail maintenance perspective, no trail makes sense, for the user, less ideal haha
