While we are on the subject, I’m planning a NZ trip next year when the America’s Cup event is scheduled, so I’ll be in the Auckland area. Then plan to ride for 7-10 days, and was initially thinking of flying to the South Island. But obviously that entails extra cost and logistics. I like the remoteness of the South Island, but haven’t ruled out just riding around the North Island from Auckland. Which is preferable, in your opinion?
