Well now the rubber hits the road. We have been doing our best to fit training rides in with the business show circuit and have had some pretty satisfying rides. The other week we cycled from Papamoa to Whakatane, 85kms each way. We stayed the night at a wonderful motel called the 'Tourist Court Motel' in Whakatane. They were very supportive of our cause and made the trip so much more stress free. We would highly recommend this motel if you are staying in Whakatane, firstly for the great service and secondly because they are very well equipped rooms.
After a great sleep and nursing our sunburn we arose nice and early Sunday morning to bike back to Papamoa. It was a lovely ride and lucky for us it is pretty much downhill on the way home. Overall a good ride and gave us a little more confidence for the the big mission.
We fly out tomorrow. We are ready!...I hope. Recent correspondence from a group over there already said it was 38 degrees the other day. EEkkkk.
