Supernova meets bike packing

April 9, 2018

A family trip to the other end of the world: What many other bike packers would not dare did has the family of theBomb track Teamriders Joachim Rosenlund simply dared. With a toddler on board they toured the wide New Zealand for two months. There were also 7 supernova products that you tested for us.

Only the best bike equipment comes to the high-tech wheels by Joachim and his wife Melanie: Supernovas E3 Triple 2, Airstream velvet Aistream Tail Light, E3 Pro 2 with E3 tail light and The plugilluminate every corner of the New Zealand outback during day and night.

There is more than enough to discover in nature in the land of Kiwis: whether turquoise -colored glacier lakes, high mountains or wide beaches. Just don't meet any human soul? Nothing easier than that! New Zealand impresses with a land area about as large as the Great Britain, which only share 4.3 million residents. However, with 30 million sheep. So a piece of earth that is just well located for the project of the Rosenlunds.

The route of the three family members results from a simple concept: Gravel TravelThis describes traveling on the go, apart from civilization and beyond their highways, cities and tourist spots. For this, the cyclists like to take a detour or even reversed - the peaceful expanse of the New Zealand nature experience is definitely worth it to the family. You only leave the calm in the outback every three to four days until another meal ration runs out. The small family spends the nights either in the tent or in the many hunting huts equipped with fireplaces. To do this, take your time on your tour, take it easy. Time to experience the breathtaking nature - but above all to watch your little daughter get big and explore. So that you are equipped with a light source around the tent after the daily tour, the Airstream. With The plug The light spotlight can be easily charged without a socket.

For about six weeks, the three adventurers have been traveling the small island state in southern Pacific, including the Rainbow Road, well -known under Travelers. The 112 km long gravel road is located on the New Zealand South Island and extends from Hanmer Springs to St. Arnaud. It is known for its amazing landscape diversity, from a wide grassland over the river landscape along the Clarence River to the beech -covered rugged mountains of the Wairau River Area. The weather conditions are not always the simplest - the responsible Rainbow station always spends warnings and indicates the risk that every traveler has to carry for themselves.

Soon we will report more from the endless expanses of the outback ...
