What's the biggest bike trip you've done? Whether it's a few hours or a few days, it likely doesn't compare to the epic bike ride of Freddie Gillies. Alongside his brother and two friends, they cycled 23,000 kilometres, from Bali to Buckingham Palace in 2017. Passing through more than twenty countries, they battled extreme heat, sub-zero temperatures, injury, illness and heartbreak... and had the time of their lives. And in doing so, they also raised almost $35,000 in support of Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand. Freddie has now published a book, The Big Bike Trip. It's filled with stunning photography by his friend Sean Wakely and Freddie's inspirational account of turning a dream into reality.
