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
