Steve's Tour Aotearoa Ride
Cycling the 3000KM length of NZ in 3 weeks off-road and unsupported!
Auckland
I am cycling the total length of NZ over a 3 weeks period, which is a 3000+KM trip with the additional challenges of being self supported and being off-road This is in participation of the organised inaugural Tour Aotearoa event.
Because its madness and its going to hurt I needed a little extra motivation so raising money for CAP should do the trick!
Steve Bilton's involvement (page creator)
Whilst I am not currently involved directly I met the director of CAP several years ago and heard first hand how the charity is making a difference in peoples lives economically and spiritually, as it seeks to assist them with their financial burdens. Because its a NZ organisation helping people in the communities around me I think its a great cause to raise money for!
I am hoping to visit the CAP offices around the country as I pass by.

The tour is complete! 14 March 2016
Apologies for no updates on givealittle for a while. I didn't have any time or rest days since I rested in Nelson and I also broke my phone which limited communications.
All updates and dramas of the last 8-9 days were put up on facebook, however I will finish the blog and upload it and photos to this site in the next few days.
The tour is over, I finished on Sunday 13th Feb at 13:48 PM. So on the 20 day it was finished and it was very good. I completed the tour in 19 days 23 hours 48 minutes which actually is still as planned to do it in 19 days! Smashed out the 143k to Stirling point today in 6 hours with an average of 27.8 kph. Thanks a million to all the people who supported me by text, msgs, Facebook, donations, prayers etc. Your support was a massive encouragement.
The givealittle fund will stay open for a few more days.
There will be a follow up event at some stage but right now I'm going to go and eat and sleep, and eat some more and then sleep some more :-)
