Geoff Gabites has been around the cycle tourism scene for long enough to be called a pioneer. He’s been around the NZ outdoor scene even longer. He is one of the founders of Alpsports and Macpac.
Geoff went on to establish Adventure South, operating adventure bike tours in a number of overseas destinations as well as throughout NZ.
A serial entrepreneur these days he is running Cycle Journeys enabling people to enjoy the Alps to Ocean, West Coast Wilderness Trail and the newly opened Paparoa Track.
He’s also a Trustee on the New Zealand Cycle Trail Trust.
A sage observer and a bike rider himself, Geoff provides entertaining insights into his own adventures on this year’s Tour Aotearoa, and the New Zealand cycle trail scene.
