Thanks Daniel. Well I don’t have a bike yet so we will see about that All I have so far is the handlebars (bad joke).
I will swing by when I make it to Wellington, or is that “if”.

Good for you Vaughan. I had a crazy teacher in Form 3 who went on a trip around the world on a beat-up old bike. You are both cleverer and cooler than him, and will no doubt have a better bike, so you trip will be well worth following.

I did a ride for charity in the States (DC AIDS Ride 4) 10 years ago now. 350 miles in four days. With the training I did for it, I figured I rode around 1500 miles that year. I was the most fit I’d ever been!

Man, I’d love to say I’d do this with you, but I don’t think my knees are up to it. This is really exciting and something I know you won’t regret!

Awesome. I think getting on a bike and making it past the first hill will be a major feat for me, all the more reason to do it. Adrenalin junkie friends tell me once I get going I won’t be able to stop. Here’s hoping they are right!

Good one, and good luck.

As a friend of mine once said – just get on the bike and start pedalling.

She managed to go 1.5 times around the world, and that was back before 1997.
