New Zealand

Eager mountain bikers flock from all over the world to ride New Zealand trail, but for Euan Wilson, guiding giddy bikers on South Island singletrack is just another day at the office. Skirt the Port Hills ridge before taking a dip in the South Pacific, behold Colorado-like peaks to African-like plains from the St. James trail before taking a soak in the Hanmer hot springs, and dive deep into a two-day rainforest ride where your luggage awaits you at a mountain top hut. And that’s only in the first four of the 12-day guided adventure!
