I really enjoy these, so cool to see where you get to go. I forgot how much fun that used to be when I was riding and travelling. I'll just watch from my couch now in Lyttelton :)

Hahahah absolutely classic! Loved the stubbornness, sleeping in a bivvy bag in a the pissing rain 😂

[@RideProductionsNZ]

Nice one Joe, say hi to Rufus😊 wondering how much use the aero bars will get in the scheme of things? Looking forward to following all of you kiwis

[@joe.nation]

[@veloatlas]

Wonderful journey 🚵🏼‍♂️🚵🏼‍♂️

[@joshpillidge5916]

Yeahhh joe! Go boy! Dont worry ill slug this radar for yah 🫡🤣

[@jasegestro3828]

bring it home lads

[@philleach6271]

Looks like a ton of fun but dam hard work. All that best for the race. Any chance of a video on your bikes sometime ?

[@TeamGambleBMX]

This going to be awesome! Go hard and have fun guys!! Is that village really called CushCore?

[@pmcmpc]

Feel like it'd almost be worth building a rack to hold a spare front wheel with a fat trail or enduro tire to swap in for the descents. Extra 2kkg for rack and wheel would be worth IMO

[@EnniodBleu]

Nice update Joe. A word on those Sawyer filters: the seam welded bladder can split, especially when the filter itself starts to block up from use and you have to squeeze harder. Grab yourself a crunchy PET plastic water bottle with a screw cap from one of the Dairy/magazines and it should screw onto the filter. They are much tougher.

Must be hot its bleached your hair!?

[@ToddNZMTB]

I thought he lost a bet! 😂

Fucking epic 😂 good luck fellas

[@fantasticini]

Given the noggin a freshen up?

[@theplodder5053]

see you at the start

[@MayaOgonah]

hi Joe, in the video the very brief glimps of your bike suggest you are using a drop bar. What's your bike setup and why the switch from flat to drop bars?

[@brendanford4850]

Go Joe n Rufus. Give em hell.

[@conradgibbevtorque7953]

Kapai Joe, te waimarie pai to you and Rufus 💪
