The Gathering 2015
A bit of a belated update for The Gathering on Queen's Birthday 2015. We based the weekend out of Taihape as there are a lot of amazing rides in the area and we heard a rumour the hotel was pretty good. Well the hotel was pretty average actually and the food...
Round the Block 2015

Iconic NZ
March 2012 and we are heading to Russell in the bay of Islands for another lap of the country. Work has been crazy for us both and despite remembering to get both bikes serviced a week in advance, mine needs brakepads but can we get brakepads into town in time...?...
