It's no secret that New Zealand has some of the best cycling routes and roads in the world. Hosted by local Kiwi cyclist, Alex Huffadine, we pedalled out to the suburbs of Auckland, on just another undulating road without anything but cows, and sheep, and cows… and more sheep for miles.  These photos are a tribute to the humble bliss that is NZ.

Even the country’s famous grass-eating dairy cows couldn’t resist getting in on the action. After a hill climb, we rested to look across the farmland... and the cows came right up to the fence to see what all the fun was about.

We kitted Alex out in pieces from our Essentials Collection. Gear made with recycled materials that are light-weight, moisture-wicking, and UPF 50+ protective. Perfect for rides under the blistering Kiwi sun.
