We’ll have two groups heading out. Group 1: 57km Group 2: 38km at a super chill, no drop pace! Meet at Heatwave for a 9am start. Coffee & snacks provided from Maap post ride 🙂 See you there x

Last week I had the pleasure of being part of a media crew capturing @slamshaw ’s most recent record breaking attempt. It has to have been one of the most enjoyable projects I’ve been a part of. Seeing Sam once again push the boundaries of what is humanly possible on 2 wheels, and working alongside @jayfrench & @tom_christie was absolutely unreal. Three masters of their respective crafts. 390km, 7500m Vert, 21:39:14. These are the stats behind last week’s record breaking ride. Completing the Paparoa, Old Ghost or Heaphy trails in a day is a challenge for the average bloke. Linking all three by riding the road sections, and doing the mission completely self supported is utter madness. Safe to say @slamshaw froths the pain cave. 📸/: @jayfrench

Man is still tracking well ahead of schedule🫡 @specialized_nz @specializedaus @iamspecialized @corosanz @corosglobal @drinkmont @Knog @skratchlab @skratchlabsnz @albaoptics @albaoptics.aus @maap.cc @maap.rides heatwave @sweetcheeksnz

10:35pm - Start of Old Ghost Road -165km I managed to snag a Levo R and jump on the wheel of Sam for about 10mins. Spirits are high, he’s moving quickly and still well ahead of schedule. OGR is one of the most challenging sections of the route so he’s looking forward to getting through this one. @specialized_nz @specializedaus @iamspecialized @corosanz @corosglobal @drinkmont @Knog @skratchlab @skratchlabsnz @albaoptics @albaoptics.aus @maap.cc @maap.rides heatwave @sweetcheeksnz
