Brian Brown

I'm a 75 year old obsessive cyclist, I've been cycling all my life, competing in my early years. Now the riding is all about enjoyment and exploring the amazing back roads and tracks of New Zealand. I make videos of most of our rides to try to show case the beautiful countryside, looked after by our amazing farmers. These videos can be found here

Seddon to Lake Grassmere on Whale trail

Another lovely ride even though it was overcast all day and very windy. It was a delightful ride especially though Yealand's vineyard. The newly laid gravel for about 7km want much fun. We rode the grass verge for about a km. The trail is mostly on public roads and the Yealand white road tour roads, which makes you feel like your riding the white roads of Tuscany.

Ward Beach Rd to Lake Grassmere on Whale trail

This was a lovely ride. They've done a great job of the trail. We can't wait for more of it to be finished.

Geraldine 28km loop

This was one of those rides that was a lovely ride but the scenery didn't have that wow factor. It was a great mix of roads from a 2 short stints on the main road to tiny gravel roads with grass growing up the middle.
