65 Laps Done
From Stuff.co.nz:
It’s been a hard road for Colin Anderson over the past couple of months.
Every day the 65-year-old postie has climbed on to his bike and cycled a 160-kilometre lap of Lake Taupo. Yesterday, he completed his 65th – one for each year of his life.

CRI Junior Tour 2013
Friday again saw flocks of Bike Manawatu juniors and their families migrating north across the Desert Road. This time to Rotorua for the CRI Junior Tour – four stages over two days in the rolling countryside just north of the town.
In the U15 Boys Dylan Simpson, Thomas Stannard and Harrison Kinghorn were up against “the beasts” (otherwise known as “second year U15 riders”), often a foot taller and sometimes a foot wider across the shoulders as well. Our boys acquitted themselves well, Dylan managing to hold onto the second bunch in every stage to finish 13th on GC and Thomas and Harry riding determinedly throughout.
