2014 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 270 times in 2014. If it were a cable car, it would take about 5 trips to carry that many people.

The Great New Zealand Odyssey

Well my other bike is called Gromit so this one is know as Wallace, sadly Gromit has a broken leg so this will be my ride  for my great New Zealand odyssey. So its time to get some miles on my new brooks saddle as my last one has seen better days,  I think this will be my 6th Brooks saddle, even on my first bike I had one, many times I have thought about a synthetic saddle to save a little bit of weight but I have stuck with comfort over weight.

72 Days

Well at my 50 birthday tour is set flight to Auckland booked and paid for 🙂 I am going to cycle end to end NZ from Cape Reinga to Bluff about 3000 km but with plenty of time for some add-ons  along the way. So fly on the 11 March 2015 and finish at the Bluff oyster festival 23 May so a total of 70 days of cycling, so plenty of time to explore on and off the bike and with some awesome locations along the way its to good to rush 🙂
