Thanks to the charity of everyone on the trip, all the people who put us up and feed us and supported us along the way, to our families for their support, to all those that have donated to canteen (the last time I checked we raised almost $1000 for Canteen) and to the optimism of those people we meet along the way. It has been a challenging 27 days of cycling with some great experiences that we will remember forever.
Many people have done this ride before but were not faced with the challenges of no support vehicle, camping most nights, headwinds and rain 90% of the time, and caring all our gear with us in our bike bags as well as taking that extra day to make it the actual northern point of New Zealand NORTH CAPE so its makes the achievement extra special.
Also a big thanks to dad for stepping in from Auckland and keeping me company when andriy had to pull out. Max is already planning to do the entire trip at the end of 2009. Im sure Andriy will also finish the last bit (Auckland to the Cape) within the next year as well.
You can still donate securily online on:
