My Updates

Day 5 - Fox Glacier to Haast

We started with a detour to view the Fox Glacier, then some nice and relatively easy rolling down to Haast.  A couple of little pinch hills, but a recovery day to prepare for the big finishing two days.

Huge downfalls of rain in Haast in the evening. Hopefully the weather clears for Friday’s ride.

Day 4 - Hokitika to Fox Glacier

Another day of amazing scenery and great conditions.  138kms today, mostly cruising with a few tough hills to finish.

So rewarding to hear from the Monash Children’s team tonight, about the life saving equipment that will be purchased for the neo-natal ward, with the funds raised from the ride.

Day 3 - Arthur’s Pass

What a difference a day makes. Amazing weather and views. Some tough climbs but great team work got us over the line.  Legs are getting a bit sore…

Day 2 - Mightily Cold Monday

Rained non-stop from 7am until lunchtime today.  Incredibly windy and so so cold…

Last night we heard some amazing stories about the impact Chain Reaction has had, on really sick kids.  Inspirational stories that got me through the day.

Day 1 - Christchurch Loop

Day 1 Christchurch loop.  An early mechanical issue on day 1, found out my saddle broke on the flight over!!  Nothing JJ the super mechanic couldn't fix in about 15 minutes though.  Hot and a seriously steep climb to start the week (photo from the top of the climb).  Wishful thinking that the climb was over at every turn, but just kept going up and up!  Very hot day in Christchurch and hottest right when we hit the climb.  NZ sun has a lot of kick so need to keep up the sunscreen tomorrow.

Dear Jarrod, What a wonderful service you are doing for Starlight, and couldn't support a better cause to minimise the trauma of severe and serious illness in children and families. Hoping the saddle soreness isn't too bad mate!
