This site is a collection of photos and notes etc from my various travels, I regularly update the news / blog section and photo galleries when im travelling or with an upcoming event.
My next major target im leading up to in June 2012 is the Tour Divide. An ultra-cycling challenge to pedal solo and self-supported the length of Great Divide Mountain Bike Route…as fast as possible(!) Over 2700 miles (4400kms),
Tour Divide Countdown –
Initial shakedown events have been a few offroad Cycle Brevets held in Jan / Feb 2012, which only got better as time went on, a great ti6e to dial in some gear choices.
The first being the Great Southern Brevet,
1200km Taking in the iconic Mackenzie High Country, the Lakes, and through to Central Otago and Southland and back again to the High Country.
followed a week later In Feburary with the Kiwi Brevet ,
an 1100 km bicycle brevet around the top of the South Island – with as much off road riding as possible. In 2010 we went in an anticlockwise direction, http://kiwibrevet.blogspot.com/.
For both events I will have my GPS tracker with me. My Spot GPS tracker page
The last non cycling event for me was the Kepler Challenge a 60km mountain run held on the Kepler Track in Fiordland National Park, NZ, on Saturday 4th December 2010, Despite going into the event with a lingering injury I had a great time, Its definitely an event I would like to come back to again and give it another go.
My last major adventure was Cycle Asia 2009, which was a cycle journey around Southeast Asia then proceeding on through Southwest China , onto Tibet and Nepal .
