Last year, Justin cycled from Cape Reinga to Bluff, a distance of 2,000 kilometres, in order to work up an appetite for some oysters and concluded “they tasted much better after 20 days on a bicycle”.
This year he is going to do it again, twice, and Julia is going to take part as well. This is a distance of 4,000 km on a bike, but this time its a motorbike.
As part of celebrating the 30 Year Anniversary of the BMW GS model, they will, in conjunction with about 60 others, ride from Cape Reinga to Bluff in November. To add a degree of difficulty to the challenge they aim to ride as much of the trip off-road.
This will equate to riding the length of the country twice, or a minimum of 4,000 km. The event is also being run as a fund-raiser for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service so they would like your support.
They have set up a fund-raising page HERE! If you can support them in any way then they would be very grateful, otherwise I’m sure you join us in wishing them safe travels.
You will be able to track their progress online HERE once they start as Justin will have a GPS transmitter on board. The link has not been setup yet but will be closer to the time. Kick off is November 14th from Cape Reinga and they will reach Bluff 11 days later on November 24th.
