The Original Great Southern Brevet: LIVE Tracking!

LIVE Tracking!

LIVE Tracking will again be available for the 2021 GSB.

Each rider must carry a SPOT Tracking device for personal safety. These devices first and foremost transmit their location in case of an emergency. They are mandatory to cross private land. Our commitment to the landowner is that a mass scale search and rescue effort on their property will be avoided by riders carrying the right gear.

A bonus of using the SPOT devices is the ability to display a riders progress along the GSB 2021 route on a map for others to see. The link below displays the Live Tracking map page.

THE RIDE
A 1100 km bicycle brevet around the South Island of New Zealand. Taking in the iconic Mackenzie High Country, the Lakes, and through to Central Otago and Southland and back again to the High Country. It uses a mix of gravel back country roads, cycle trails and tracks with 90% off-road riding and 10% sealed surface.

You will start and finish in the scenic setting of Tekapo. The course is designed to be as much as possible off road and takes in high passes in the beautiful but rugged central South Island ranges. It will follow many historic tracks and will be a physically challenging and rewarding adventure.
