Ride. Push.
Grovel. Grin.

An unsupported bikepacking brevet exploring some classic Central Otago adventure terrain.

TRB#2 departs 28th Feb, 2025

This adventure is all about putting aside the complexities of life, packing up your bike with just enough and coming face to face with nature, yourself and the challenge of the route. A reset for body, mind and soul.

The second edition of The Reset will see riders departing the shore of Lake Wanaka, New Zealand and traveling through some of central Otago’s rugged contours, crossing saddles, traversing ranges, and relishing tough climbs and spectacular landscapes.

The route is varied with a mix of rocky double-track, gravel back roads, minimal tarmac, a sprinkle of single-track, and of course, some delectable hike-a-bike.
