The Rebel Ride Guide Book

The Rebel Ride is a self-supported bikepacking event in Aotearoa / New Zealand. It was put together with a goal of making bike adventures more accessible for women. The route starts in Kirikiriroa / Hamilton and follows the Te Awa River Ride, Waikato River Trails and Great Lake Trails to Taupō with country roads linking the trails together.

A note for the 2024 ride: Epworth Camp are unable to take booking for their bunk beds due to an existing group booking. Campsites are available to book.

• km-by-km easy to follow cue sheet
• information on available services like food stops and accommodation
• photo checkpoints to give you souvenir of your accomplishment
