Rescue helicopters are a vital service in every community, and everybody knows somebody who has used one or someone close to them has.
Please chip in so it will be there when you need it.
Tour Aotearoa is a bike-packing brevet event. The route utilizes trails and gravel roads where possible which makes it a lot more challenging and interesting than just riding the roads.
I intend to complete this ride in 15days, that's 200km per day, weather permitting.
