    We started at 5:45 in Queenstown and finished at 5:30 in Esk St Invercargill. Stops in Kingston, Five Rivers, Lumsden school, Gore Main school, Mataura school and Rimu.

    Weather was actually pretty good - fog made for some cold conditions around Garston and overall we were lucky to finish just before the subsequent downfall of rain.

    So nice to see Geoff. Zoe, Hannah (via video), Tracy and Andy at the finish of Nic’s dedicate ride.

    To everyone who supported me and the Rescue Helicopter Appeal - thank you so much.

    I’m feeling really grateful for the support and excited for the 253km bike challenge this Friday.

    Thank you to everyone who has donated and supported me and the Qt2Inv Chopper Bike Ride

    Thank you to Riki Anne Shuttleworth and the team at Creation Signs for the t-shirt, hoodie and bike graphics which look amazing!

    Thank you to the Hinton family for allowing me to dedicate my ride to their amazing Nicola.

    And thank you to the crew that have trained together over the past few months in preparation.

    Training is done, we’re almost ready to go.
