In this episode, we leave the city of Auckland and get our first taste of riding in the New Zealand countryside. We work our way to Rotorua where we interview Jeff Anderson, NZ's only steel bike builder. We also interview Damian Day, who suffers from several nerve disorders but has been bike touring full time through NZ for the last 5 years.
