    Week 3 of the 8844 meter St Johns Coromandel Everest challenge ended last night with a slightly broken bike but I made a total of 9068 meters elevation gain, I’ve surprised myself how quickly I achieved this and how much fun it’s been (the downhill part that is). thanks to everyone who's donated to St Johns so far, your all legends.

    Since I’ve still got 39 days to go I thought I might as well ride the height of the second tallest mountain K2 which is 8611 meters.

    For those of you who haven’t had a chance to donate yet this is your chance, here’s the link for the St Johns give a little page https://givealittle.co.nz/fundraiser/everest-challenge-fund-raiser-for-st-johns a few $'s is all it takes to help St Johns help everyone in need
