IT'S NOT A FUNDRAISER

Following our New Zealand ride of   2016 we received queries about connecting with smaller communities in New Zealand.  We talked with a range of community people, whanau leaders as well as  USO riders in Gisborne and  Hawkes Bay. This ride is the  outcome of those discussions.  

We are excited about the opportunity and look forward to sharing this journey with you all as we make our way up the beautiful East Cape
