Hello,

I am an avid cyclist and keen cycle tourer. Earlier this year we cycled parts of the north and south islands of New Zealand en route to the Kiwi Burn festival and the World Hardcourt Bike Polo Championships in Timaru.

Looking forward to getting back to the northern end of the south island in 2017 to do more exploring and perhaps the Tour Aotearoa!!

Since NZ I have been planning a larger tour to take in part of Japan and also Europe, but in the meantime riding and camping out weekends in Victoria.

The Japan tour will commence on June 1 and will be a ride from Tokyo to Hokkaido with some touring in Hokkaido before flying off to Germany to tour some more in Bavaria, France, Czech and Hungary over summer!

Currently I cannot host as I am about to hit the road, but when the time comes around I look forward to meeting traveling cyclists, sharing Melbourne, teaching bike polo and paying back all the great hospitality I have received whilst on tour.

Cheers, Leon
