Ebike Social Riders Hawkes Bay. South Island Tour 2022. A2O – Alps to Ocean. Sailors Crossing to Benmore Dam/Otematata. 23kms.

“Today we rode a small section of the Alps to Ocean. Twists, turns, steep up and down, steep drop offs, spectacular scenery. Sailors Crossing to Benmore Dam.” – Robyn

For anyone considering riding the complete A2O trail, I recommend reading this blog by a solo non-ebike cyclist. The cyclist describes distances, terrain and accommodation. Solo Alps to Ocean.

In March 2022, a group from Ebike Social Riders Hawkes Bay, embarked on a tour of New Zealand’s South Island. The tour was devised by Charlie and Robyn Davey, aided by others from the group. Pippi Wells, a rider in the group along with others, have graciously allowed me to use their Facebook posts to recount the trip. This post includes images and text from Charlie and Robyn Davey.
