The Pioneer - New Bike Race Launched in New Zealand
With entries capped at 1,000 for the race’s first year, The Pioneer will be within reach for those with a moderate level of mountain bike riding ability, but will not be for the “faint hearted.”
For those who love to travel the world around biking events, The Pioneer is an audacious, seven-day mountain bike stage race for elite and amateur athletes alike. It takes riders (in teams of two) through the best of New Zealand’s spectacular landscape – along trails that few ever get to enjoy – and is following in the footsteps of New Zealand’s early explorers.
