The goal of cycling the length of NZ, is my single biggest physical and no doubt mental undertaking I have attempted. As you can guess, it is not something that happens overnight. It has been 2 years of training, from building the bike, getting the gear required and finally, to actually getting out and riding.
I have just finished up a big final training loop - 900km, over 10 days. Everything preformed as I had wished and it has just made me even more excited for the start on the 3rd of March. Till then a few day trips are planned, bike maintance a must, and some final gear refinements need to be made.
Thanks for all the support so far! I'll try keep everyone updated on how we get on.
Pedal on,
Doug
