Great day on the Rameka. started with some credit owed to some customers and a nudge to spend it, rolled into a full Landcruiser heading to the Rameka.

Back in September we knocked off a casual 10 day lap of the Kahurangi 500, mainly to work out some logistics for future trips, as well as to spend some quality time on a bike. Well... forging ahead, we now have gravel bike specific bike carrying capacity for up to 6 bikes, so we're happy to announce that we're good to go for labour weekend next year... whats different? options for a 4-5 day K500 or to squish in both a Ghost road and Heaphy into the labour Weekend itself.

Time to sneak in an adventure before the madness of Christmas? Heres a deal that'll get you biking, hiking , and possibly even camping. 7th and 8th of December. Cracker deal... ring your friends and get a crew together

After a weekend stuck in a holding pattern trying to get some customers into Kahurangi National Park . We finally pulled through. Ghost road, Mount Owen and the wangapeka were off the cards due to road closures and weather chaos. Got some refunds to some and managed to get a crew from Wellington to the Heaphy as a sub for the ghost road.

Labour Weekend is not too far off. Heres a couple of great deals to get you into Kahurangi National Park.

Off early for an on road /off road drive to test out the new kit for the Landcruiser. The Mickey Thompson tyres will ensure you always get where you want to go , and the adjustable Robinson's shocks will get you there in comfort.

Fresher than a Bike packing Brocolli. Head to the Scottish express website - "Express news" for the trip report for the Kahurangi 500 and the Scottish Express hire bikes and gear we used to complete it

Day 10 K500: Big day out!! Awesome adventure up to flora carpark. Unfortunately the lightweight rear wheels bearing gave up the ghost, so a lot of pushing to save some bearing life for the descent from flora carpark into the Motueka valley. Got a call out and pulled a favour to get a fresh bike delivered. Took an elongated route into Nelson via the bike paths and moutere hills. Highlights?.... The Barron's flat route.... Hard... But very rewarding to get the taste of pure backcountry in the park at the end of our trip.. very cool wilderness trail. Roughly 670km all up on the trip, very nice to share it with @phil.etheridge.1 and @photogirl168 and the raft of other people we met and rode with. It's also given us an opportunity to refine logistics on how we can get people on this amazing route..... Put it on your bucket list!!
