MEGA RIDE for Flood Hit Food Rescue

We’re cycling a NUTCASE 1,500km route from Queen Charlotte Sounds to Milford Sounds (S2S) to raise money and awareness for two Food Rescue organisations in FLOOD HIT Hawkes Bay and Gisborne - ‘Nourished for Nill’ and ‘Gizzy Kai’. These charities provide an essential service getting food to those in need - that need has increased astronomically because of the floods and your donations will help get people fed.

The S2S route is 1500kms of mostly back-country gravel grinding for bike-packers with a need for pain and punishment. There’s 15,000 metres of climbing - x2 Everests - think of it as ‘type-2’ fun … it’s not fun at the time, it’s fun afterwards.

From the Wairarapa, we are Mike Smith and David Savage - veterans of the Tour Aotearoa (Cape Reinga to Bluff, 3000km ride), we know a little more about what we’re doing, the rest we’ll make up as we go.
