🍫 A LITTLE CHOCOLATE TREAT FOR OUR FIVE PASSERS! 🚴‍♂️

A big thank you to Puhoi Valley for supplying some delicious chocolate milk for our riders!

We'll have these little beauties chilled and waiting for you when you roll into Reefton on Day 2! 🥛🍫

The perfect little pick-me-up after some serious kilometres in the saddle!

Thanks — our riders are going to love these! 🙌

🚴 A little reminder for our Five Passes riders!

Our wonderful nurses on Tour are amazing, but they're not a travelling chemist! 💊😂

Please bring your own bits and bobs – plasters for your butt, Panadol, antihistamines and any other personal medications or supplies you think you might need over the four days.

Best to come prepared and hopefully not need any of it! 🚴

🍔🍟 Who needs a drive-thru when McDonald’s comes to the Five Passes finish line in Greymouth!

After a big day on the bike, a cheeseburger and chicken nuggets go down an absolute treat!

A very special thanks to Melissa and Luke Nuttall, who aren't riding with us this year but are still generously supporting the Tour with our McDonald's feast!

We'll miss having you both on the road this year, but hopefully we'll see you back on the bike in 2027!

Thanks again, you two – absolute legends! 🍔🚴

🚴‍♂️ Good luck at the Tour of Southland!

A big shout-out to three of our Five Passes Cycling Tour riders – Craig Domigan, Paul Gow, Chris Lamb and Glen Kempton – taking on the Tour of Southland this week!

Wishing you all the very best, boys. Ride strong and, most importantly, stay safe out there! 🚴👏

We’ll be cheering you on from the Five Passes crew!

💚🚴 NEW SPONSOR ALERT – GREEN SPRINT JERSEY!

We're thrilled to welcome Forte Orthopaedics and Andrew Vincent to the Five Passes 2026 sponsor lineup!

Andrew is no stranger to Five Passes, having tackled the tour a few times himself, so he knows all about the aches, pains and punishment we put our bodies through on the bike!

And let's face it, with all the kilometres we clock up, there's a fair chance a few of us will need an orthopaedic surgeon at some stage! 😂

It's a perfect fit, and we're delighted to have Andrew and Forte Orthopaedics backing our Green Sprint Jersey for 2026.

A massive thank you to Andrew for jumping on board and supporting Five Passes!

Now, who's got the fast legs to take home the green jersey this November? 💚🏆🚴‍♂️

🚴 YOUR FIVE PASSES CREW ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST!

We've got 26 fantastic crew members on Tour, all there to look after you, keep you safe, patch up your sore bits, keep you fed and watered, do your washing, carry your bags and generally make your life pretty easy for four days!

All you have to do is ride that bike… 600km of it! 😂🚴

Pretty good deal, we reckon!

A massive thanks to our incredible crew who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make Five Passes what it is. We couldn't do it without you! ❤️

The Will Nixon “Give It Death “ Trophy . This Trophy was donated by the Nixon & Williams families in 2012 in the memory of Will Nixon ; cycling guru and raconteur , who competed and committed enthusiastically in the 5 Passes event for several years prior to 2012 . His howling catch cry of “ Give It Death “ echoed around the valleys as he encouraged his fellow riders in “D Grade” to meet the challenge and ride hard and honestly !!
The Trophy will be awarded each year to the rider from 'D Grade ' who sacrifices all - and even more , to get to the start line and compete in Will’s inimitable style and spirit over the 4 days .
