Classic New Zealand Wine Trail

Support

The following support services are supplied as part of the Classic New Zealnd Wine Trail tour:

  • Ride maps are provided showing course and route profile. Interesting excursions are also shown.
  • As we offer a fully supported tour, one of our minivans will accompany the tour. The minivan will offer refreshments, spare wheels in case of punctures (just like the pro’s, we replace the wheel to get you going faster), mechanical aid, and from time to time we’ll even offer encouragement! We also take photos for your holiday memoirs.
  • If you don't like the look of the next hill or have just had enough for the day, jump in the van and relax in air-conditioned comfort. It is also possible for those non-cycling partners or friends to come along and ride in the van each day.
  • At least two Cycle Turismo guides accompany each tour. One will drive the van at the rear of the field, while the other rides within the front pack acting as Road Captain. The Road Captain will point out highlights, offer commentary and give directions. You may even be able to persuade him/her to ride first into the head wind!
  • Each Cycle Turismo customer is given a mobile phone for the duration of their tour. The phone is pre-loaded with emergency and contact phone numbers
  • Additional water bottles are carried in the support vehicle.
