@editionzerogravel 2025 💥

Through the career I have chosen, I am fortunate to attend a host events each year & work with many extremely talented athletes.

This year was my first time attending @editionzerogravel . Firstly, I’d like to congratulate @andypcnz and @its.me.smc on creating an extremely special event. The race is something so unique - the challenge, the landscape, the vibe. I can’t wait to see it continue to grow over the coming years. It’s going to be something big.

@jeremypresbury & @slamshaw delivered once more. Jeremy claiming 2nd, sitting a little over 2min off the legendary Cam Jones and Sam finishing in a solid P5. Congrats on another awesome weekend on the tools. It’s an absolute pleasure to work with you both.

Finally, thanks to @jaywolnelson & @nzlucas for giving up your weekends to help run site. @jamesrmortimer thank you again for helping where you could around racing 🫡

Until next year… 👀

Day 1 of the Gravel Beer Camp. We were mostly motivated by the alcohol, but the sweet gravel, multiple coffee, cake, chips and pie stopped made it arguable more enjoyable day. Campsite was also amazing, but due to downing 5 jugs of local beer, we mostly made it in the dark.
Thanks for bringing up the beers @kat_gr 👌

Custom mini handlebar bag in Multicam Black. Big enough for the phone, wallet and maybe a small jacket. Think I should make this a stock item? If you are keen let me know! @cordurabrand @1947llc #multicamblack #cordura #nzmade #bikepacking #barbag #sausageroll
