After a 7 hour drive from Rotorua to Lower Hutt yesterday we're very happy to have a day of rest. We found a great little motel to hole up in until we kick off the 2nd leg tomorrow morning.
The Hutt Recreation Ground is our departure point with things getting under way at 9:30am. John and Rob hope to be on the road around 10:30. The decision was made not to risk the climb over the Rimutakas for safety reasons so the boys will ride the foot hills to Kaitoke before hopping into the trailer and resuming at Featherston.
Our goal for the first Day is to make it to Masterton where we're looking forward to a visit to Wairarapa College the following morning.
Cool, very cool.
Stage One - Auckland to Rotorua - Departing April 22nd
Stage Two - Hutt Valley to Napier - Departing April 30th
Stage Three - Christchurch to Oamaru - Departing May 7th

Congradulation Rob and John on completing Stage One.. Yes you two deserve a "Day of Rest".
We are all thinking of you on this great challenge.
It been fantastic to be able to follow your journey via the internet.
All the best for Stage Two tomorrow. Go guys.... You are real kiwis blokes.
Ooops! Now you've got Karen upset. "Rest! Rest! I'll give you bloody rest! What about me ah...who do they think does all the work around here?"
Thanks for the support.
Oops, I'm so sorry forgot to mention the rest of the team. Especially the Team Leader Karen.... Yes you deserve a "Day of Rest" too... The blokes are lucky to have you as part of the team that keep them sane and smiling.... Just as well they have a woman as the boss. Ha! :-)
Peace has been restored.
