The Reset Brevet 2026

This adventure is about stripping life back to the essentials – loading your bike with just enough, and meeting the terrain, yourself, and the challenges of the route head-on. A full reset for body, mind, and soul.

The third edition of The Reset begins once again on the shores of Lake Wānaka, Aotearoa New Zealand. From there, riders will journey deep into Central Otago’s rugged landscapes – crossing saddles, traversing ranges, grinding up tough climbs, and soaking in breathtaking views.

Both routes (choose 550km or 370km) serve up variety in every sense: rocky double-track, gravel back roads, a hint of tarmac, a dash of single-track, and, of course, some delicious hike-a-bike.
