First Group Ride: June 2020
Check out the video in the Trip Reports button above for some highlights from our first ride of the North Island 1000 route. The weather was perfect and the company was even better. What better way to kick off the riding season than with a multiday tour of the scenic backroads of the North Island!
Alternate route to Gold River: "Khyber Pass"
Khyber Pass is a more difficult route that connects Campbell River to Gold River. This route would not be suitable for loaded dual sport bikes.
GPX Track Now Available!
Thanks to Frances Walsh who sent a GPX file based on the basic route from the turn by turn directions. It doesn’t show any of the optional side trips, but gives a good overall base for your ride. You can download the file below. Thanks to everyone who is riding the route and sharing their experiences, we love to see it!
