Hi all, I received this message from Lesley Whyte travel co. Check out her web site for some interesting available Tours

Evening - I work alongside Wairarapa-based Green Jersey Explorer Tours to deliver small-group cycling adventures in some truly remarkable destinations around the world.

While our flagship cycling experience is our popular Chatham Islands cycling tour, we have recently launched our 2028 Mongolia Cycling Adventure, which is already generating considerable interest.

The reason for my email is our upcoming South Australian Outback Mt Ive Station Cycling Adventure in October 2026. We currently have a small number of places still available, and I wanted to reach out to you and your cycling community to see if this unique adventure may be of interest.

This is a fully hosted, all-inclusive cycling experience. From the moment you arrive at Adelaide Airport until we return you there at the conclusion of the tour, everything is taken care of. Your quality e-bike, accommodation, transport, all meals, and the services of our private chef at Mt Ive Station are all included.
Mt Ive Station offers an extraordinary opportunity to cycle through some of Australia's most spectacular outback landscapes, including vast open plains, ancient rock formations, salt lakes, and remote station tracks, all while enjoying the camaraderie of a small group of like-minded cyclists.

If you or any of your cycling friends would like to learn more, you can view the full itinerary here: https://travelwithlesleywhyte.com/tc-events/e-bikes-outback-blooms-mt-ive-adventure/

You are also welcome to explore our other cycling adventures and tours that we operate in collaboration with Green Jersey Explorer Tours.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or would like to discuss the tour further.

Kind regards
Lesley
