Riding the length of New Zealand

When I turned 50, I wanted to mark the occasion with something EPIC! As I am keen on anything with two wheels, I quickly realised that it needed to be on a bike. After researching various events around the world, I decided to keep it close to home, and settled on doing the Tour Aotearoa. This is a self supported bike ride from Cape Reinga at the top of the North Island to Bluff at the bottom of the South Island.

The ride is 3,026 k's long and all going to plan, should take me 29 days to complete.

As part of this epic adventure, I have the chance to raise some funds for a charity of my choice. As some of you may know our son came into the world 10 weeks early, weighing in at just 2lb 3oz. The support we received from neonatal support groups, such as The Neonatal Trust, were invaluable to our journey and other parents around us.

Thankfully Zane is now 14 and every bit your normal teenager, but I will be forever grateful to the Trust and would now like to support them as my chosen charity.

Please help me give a little back to the Trust by joining me on my adventure and donating to a worthy cause.
