This week's guest Steve Halligan is an Irish bikepacker based in Hanmer Springs, NZ. Steve has completed the Tour Aeotearoa 3 times, the Kiwi Brevet 4 times, won the inaugural Terra Australis Bike Epic and finished in 4th place at the 2019 Tour Divide with a time of 16 days, 3 hours and also completed the race in 2017. In our chat Steve talks to us about all things bikepacking in New Zealand, some of the incredible routes and trails the country has to offer as well as the rich bikepacking culture spurred on by the plethora of Brevets across the country. Off the bike, Steve runs the Vibrant Living Retreat, and we discuss how this holistic approach to life also influences his riding in terms of diet and mindset.
