haha wonder why he got sick *G*mikesbytes said:My brother was going to ride Auckland to Christchurch. But we are talking 50 - 70k per day with a ciggie every 5 - 10k.
He got sick just before he was going to do it and didn't go.
What route were you thinking of riding?
I did think about other routes, but then you add a lot of extra km on taking ticky tours.matagi said:Wouldn't it be better to take some of the secondary roads where possible instead of State Highway 1? Much quieter and there's a lot of very picturesque country out there.
Also, 150-200km/day for several days is going to be a challenge for any but the most committed and fittest cyclists, which means you will be severely limiting the number of potential participants.
If that is the case, you will need to spell this out clearly right at the beginning.wishes said:To be honest, i wouldnt really be wanting anyone who would have trouble with 150-200km rides.
I wouldnt consider myself an expert or pro cyclist by any stretch of the imagination, only intermediate at best. And i could do a slow 150km in a day without too much trouble. It doesnt have to be fast.
If a person is going to struggle with a distance like that then i think they would be pushing it to do the entire distance.
So there's no sealed shoulder.wishes said:Shoulder?
Probably because i do not know of this roadmikesbytes said:So there's no sealed shoulder.
Why state highway 1? Why not West Talpo (spelling?) or the road that goes directly south to Wanganuni. Lots of corners but not too much traffic.
Dunno, im kinda partial to raising awareness of kidney donations.EmPat said:I am tentatively keen. Any idea what charity to support?
