Introduction to Bikepacking

Join in a group ‘bikepack’ from Action Bicycle Club to the Waikuku Beach campground via the Pegasus Bay Coastal Pathway 🚵🏿  and Tuithaitara trail from Pines Beach to Waikuku.

Once there, we will camp overnight and return to Christchurch the following day.

This event is mainly focused on those new to bike packing and those who are interested in cycle touring / adventures. Consider it a trial run for bigger adventures. You’ll learn tips, discover useful products and work on your tent pitching and camping skills! ⛺
