Two mates & two Mo's mountain biking from Cape Reinga to Bluff to raise funds & awareness for the important topic of Mens Health
Northland
Continuing the Movember cause with some pedal!!
We are continuing to grow our moustaches out until we raise $3,000 and mountain bike the length of NZ.
The idea originated deep in the Peruvian Andes in 2018 while completing an 8 day self supported hike across the Cordillera Huayhuash. We made an agreement to keep the challenging adventures a regular occurrence.
Soon after conception we realised that this goal needed to be bigger then our own personal challenge. We realised that the mix of comradeship, endorphins, fear & excitement was a potent mix for keeping any dark clouds looming at bay and put life back into perspective.
Our mission then became sharing this passion for outdoor adventures with those around us as a medium to converse, laugh & get comfortable with being uncomfortable!!
The route followed will be the 'Tour Aotearoa' route which encompasses a large majority of NZ's best cycle trails and covering some very diverse landscapes. This expedition will be self supported carrying all basic necessities to survive wherever we end up each night on the trail.
Total Distance: 3,000 kilometres
Required daily distance: 120kms
Daily distance traveled before training: 40km
Estimated Snickers Eaten during ride: 36
The charity we have chosen to represent is the Movember Foundation and have aligned with their 'Mental Health & Suicide Prevention' branch.
