Package Details

Expert Local Knowledge

We always enjoy showing off our favourite training rides and we'll give you the inside information on races and training sessions organised by the local clubs. We can also help you enter and find transport and accommodation for any races you want to do outside the Nelson region.

Kiwivelo Car

We have a car that is available to riders during their stay at Kiwivelo. The car is an older model but is a reliable runner and comes with 24 hour roadside breakdown assistance.
Use of the car is subject to availability and drivers must hold a valid drivers license.

Fitness Lab

We will put you through your paces in our fitness lab. Soon after you arrive we can test your VO2MAX and anaerobic threshold. Retesting will give you and your coach important information about how your training is progressing.

Blood tests are not included in the package but we can arrange one for you with a doctor or at the Nelson Medical Laboratory.

Workshop

Our workshop has the tools you need to repair or service your bike. We have an arrangement with a local bike shop who will give you a discounted price on any parts you need.

Free Internet

To help you keep in touch with things at home we have a computer and internet connection for you to use.

Kiwivelo JerseySouvenir Jersey

We are sure your stay in Nelson will be a memorable experience. But just to make sure, we'll give you a Kiwivelo cycling jersey as a souvenir. You'll probably want to buy other souvenirs too, so we have negotiated a special discount for you at the Nelson Sheepskin Shop.
