An hilarious tale about an epic event, written from a unique
perspective. To be able to appreciate the story, the reader needs
to be young at heart, have a vivid imagination and a love for
adventure. If that sounds like you, join the writer on his journey,
and experience his daily ups and downs with him. The Tour Aotearoa
is a mountain bike ‘brevet’ (a timed, long-distance cycling
event) covering the length of New Zealand. It starts at the most
northern point of the North Island, Cape Reinga, and finishes at
Stirling Point, just south of Bluff at the bottom of the South
Island. The Tour is held biennially and requires participants to
follow a set route covering 3,000 km which consists of existing
mountain bike trails scattered throughout the country and connected
by back country roads. The Tour is unsupported, so participants
carry their own gear. To be awarded the brevet, the riders need to
cover the full distance within 30 days. The writer took part in the
2018 edition of the Tour. His experience was different from what he
expected. He encountered all types of challenges, from getting lost
to physical ailments, serious weather events and loneliness. In
between he had plenty of time to contemplate and let his thoughts
and imagination run free. It helped him pass the time. He was seen
late at night, furiously hammering away on his laptop, regardless
of how tired he was, reliving the events and contemplations of the
day. It helped him make sense of his journey and how it fitted into
the complex world we live in. He called it his
‘administration’.
