PETER HAS REACHED BLUFF!!! THE 2066km JOURNEY IS NOW COMPLETE!! ............... 1 February 2015
Peter arrived at his destination Bluff on Thursday 29th January a few days ahead of schedule. At Invercargill he was greeted by 3 local cyclists who accompanied him on the home stretch to Bluff, 1 of whom was a 75 year young diabetic himself. On arrival to Bluff the 3 locals then took him down to the waters edge and threw him into the ocean to officially cap off challenge. Peter then enjoyed a well earned victory cigar which was followed up by a well deserved cold beverage or three. Time for a few days off for Peter, well keep you updated once he is home next week...
So far Peters challenge has raised over $3000 for Diabetes, with more and more generous donations rolling in each day.... Thankyou to those who have donated so far. We will be promoting this challenge and collecting donations up in till 31st March.
