Getting there...

With only 2 weeks to go, training has been going well. Had another good week of training with a 100km ride with Al and Geoff on Saturday and Sunday a 5hr ride ...in the rain . Rode with Kim and Brian and covered 130k. Had an uneventful ride, no road rage, no punctures..all good.
Planning for the trip is coming along. We ship Ruth and Kims Nissan "Mistral" to Invercargill on Friday.This will be used to carry all of our gear each day. All the accomodation is just about sorted. We have been vey fortunate with help from some sponsors. Thanks to "Blue Bridge" for taking care of the vehicle and the riders when we head north across Cooks Straight. Thanks also to "Balance" the endurance bike fuel suppliers for keeping us fueled up.
So its just a matter of connecting all of the loose ends now. I'm looking forward to an easier week of training this week. I have been going pretty solid for awhile now so it will be a real treat to sleep in a few days this week.
Thats all for now,
Adios, Steve
