It has been an epic week of riding for those of us who participated in the K2. One person also did another mega-ride from Taranaki through to Tokaanu and down to Taihape. A curious ride was also logged by someone near Levin. It looks like the rider was either completely lost, or they were trying to find every conceivable road to ride on.
Jess is out the front at the moment with 580 km total distance travelled but watch this space. Summer has arrived and the magpie season is almost over, except that nasty one on the way out to Totara reserve.

Firstly a big thanks to all who gave donations on the canteen web site and to those still thinking about it the site is still operating.

Day 1 Friday 19th Oct. Palm. Nth to Bay View 192k
7.50am saw us start from Terrace End, a cool grey morning with a steady westerly that blew us through the Gorge where we only encountered half a dozen cars. Our first stop was at Ruahine School where the children and staff had a “funky hair day” with we three doing the judging and giving out prizes that Pedal Pushes and Armstrong Prestige had donated.Their donations raised just over $200 for the cause and after over an hour at the school we left in high spirits. That was a highlight that was going to be hard to beat.
