Dulkara's YETI ARC

This week is the Tour Te Waipounamu. It's an exciting new bike packing event coving the length of the South Island, but rather then making for the quickest route, this trip aims to include all the best trails. Its set to be an epic adventure!

Our good friend Dulkara Martig will be doing her first ever bike packing event onboard a Yeti ARC. So we thought we would share some of the details of her bike and setup, as we know many people are very curious ! She's planning to sleep 8hrs per night and is bringing a cooker so she can eat proper hot dehy food.

Live commentary from DotWatcher is here now. Check out all the other rider rigs here too
