Three Weeks On The Mainland: A bicycle journey through New Zealand’s South Island

In the Spring of 2011, two friends set off on a three week cycling adventure through the hills, highways and hostels of New Zealand’s South Island.

Their journey took them from earthquake ravaged Christchurch, through the majestic Southern Alps, and along the famed Otago Central Rail Trail - putting their bikes, their friendship and themselves to the test.

Three Weeks On The Mainland is an honest and heartfelt account of the highs, lows and minutiae of bicycle adventure in New Zealand, seen through the eyes of an occasionally anxious cyclo-tourist.
