Starting Sounds To Sounds!! (Solo Bikepacking 1500km on New Zealand’s South Island)

This is the start of my Sounds to Sounds Reverse ride up the length of the South Island of NZ! Sounds to Sounds is a 1500 km bikepacking route typically done from north to south down the length of NZ's South Island, from Queen Charlotte Sound to Milford Sound (check out this site for more info: http://www.touraotearoa.nz/p/sound-to.... In March 2023, I decided to ride Sounds to Sounds in reverse, from Milford Sound to Queen Charlotte Sound, just after completing the Tour Aotearoa (TA) route down the length of New Zealand. #bikepacking #solofemaletravel #soundstosounds #newzealand
