Jonathan Kennett
Paperback, 304 pages, colour. 2013. Excellent condition
Nga Haerenga - the New Zealand Cycle Trails is full of useful information on the different trails - how to get there, what you will see, level of difficulty, things to take, places to eat and places to stay.
There is fascinating background information on each area - its history and the local flora and fauna - as well as on the ride itself.
There is also a highly practical section full of advice on choosing the right bike, gear to take, cell phone coverage in the different areas, weather and the best times of year for each trail, environmental care and useful websites.
Written by New Zealand's top cycling writer, the book is aimed at family groups and first-time cyclists as well as more experienced groups. It's accompanied by colour photos, elevation profiles and maps of each trail.
