Nestled at the foot of New Zealand’s Southern Alps, Hopkins Valley offers a spectacular weekend adventure, away from the usual tourist trails. The 4WD tracks that wind their way along the braided river, provide access to a number of huts and endless camping spots in this beautiful alpine setting.

Attack of the Buns is a 3-day bikepacking route exploring Australia’s Southern Tablelands and Highlands by linking up three significant sections of car-free, wild, forest trails with quiet gravel backroads and short paved sections through four towns. It’s a perfect route for a long weekend that will spoil nature lovers with a buffet of lush landscapes, wildlife, majestic cliffs, and rock formations.

No. 8 Wired, New Zealand

comment 21 time Sep 20 compose Guest Routes  Oceania

Fur seals, pinnacles, epic coastlines and fine wines. The No. 8 Wired bikepacking route takes it all in during a 3 to 4 day journey through some of New Zealand's breathtaking, vastly remote and untouched backcountry. All while introducing you to picturesque countryside villages, wineries and many historic sights along the wild South Coast of the North Island.

Old Ghost Road, New Zealand

comment 17 time Mar 27 compose Guest Routes  Oceania

The Old Ghost Road is the longest singletrack ride in New Zealand, and the best. The trail winds through dense native bush, and rocky high alpine on good bench-cut and machine built tread. It’s fantastic backcountry riding, made accessible for intermediate mountain bikers.

The Hunt 1000 Australian Alps Trail

comment 16 time Feb 6 compose Guest Routes  Oceania

A 1,000 km journey through the rooftop of Australia along backcountry trails, across exposed high plains, through snow gum woodlands and among tall native forests. The trail links two of major cities with limited resupply points and some of Australia's best high country campsites.

comment 6 time Nov 11 compose Tom and Sarah  Oceania

The Canning Stock Route is a truly remote West Australian desert route that's on the edge of what's possible by bicycle without vehicle support.
