3 weeks to go!
26 March 2024
I am absolutely thrilled to share with you the exciting adventure that myself, my wife Linda and Meg Tara Iti’s People & Culture support, are about to embark on. It's been two years since my last cycling adventure, and it is time to top up the Trust again by taking on another biking challenge - Tour Kōpiko.
The Tour Kopiko route is a challenging 1100km bike-packing trail that promises to push us out of our comfort zones and into the rugged terrain of the North Island. With over 17,000 meters of climbing – almost the equivalent of conquering Mt. Everest twice – this epic journey is not just a physical test of endurance, but also a profound opportunity to make a difference by raising awareness and funds for our Tara Iti Whānau Charitable Trust.
What's even more exciting is that Linda has also embraced the idea and will be joining me on this adventure along with a few other enthusiasts including Meg Bennett, Simon Hardley, and Vince Moore. We are gearing up to pedal through the breathtaking landscapes, facing the grueling climbs and unpredictable weather of this demanding trail. Our adventure transcends personal limits as we unite to support this worthy cause, embodying the spirit of resilience and also compassion.
