New Plymouth

NEW PLYMOUTH (36km, 424km total) - Today we had a very short ride into New Plymouth. Paul was headed off on bike to Wellington the same day, so he joined us for about the first 30km. There was an unlucky attempt at a winery visit (it was closed for a private function), but otherwise it was a...

Mike's Brewery

MIKE’S BREWERY, OUTSIDE Urenui (110km, 388km total) – Today was a long day without much to remember about the riding.

Moeatoa?

MOEATOA? (62km, 278km total) - Today was the best day of the trip yet. We had great cycling. The entire day was almost all downhill through a gorgeous mountainous countryside. We got our workout in though with a significant incline to start and end the day, plus a stiff wind coming into...

Waitomo

Dec. 16th, 2009 WAITOMO CAVES (40km, 216km total) – Somehow Shad and I have managed to lose each other. Our ride today wasn't long, but the hills outside of Pirongia were massive. He took the lead and kept it. A few of the hills were just too much for me and once I was forced to walk. We hit...

Tuakau

Dec. 14th, 2009 Tuakau (72km) – The first day of the trip was a long one. We had to wait until 4pm to start riding, due to it taking forever to get my bike set up and rented. Once we got started, it took me all of 30 seconds to make a wrong turn and have one of my bags fall off....
