Event: The Great Ride for Heart 2010
Event Date: 1/2/2010

The Great Ride was exactly that. It all seems like a big dream now that we have just biked 2165 kms from Cape Reinga to Bluff. Arriving into Bluff battling the best of the southern breezes until the end was momentous however also sad to be the end of an incredible 2 weeks of cycling.

Having never tested myself before it was a personal discovery to see what we can do when we give it a go. The head plays a strong part, and the body and mind get into such a rhythm that you feel you can just keep going. We did get tired and all had a few bad times, but as a group we kept each other going and had a superb support crew who looked after us so well I think we had the easy job.

It was special to be involved with such a group and be part of such a successful fundraising effort. I thank all of you supporters for also being an important part of that effort.

Since I haven’t written my own blog feel free to check out the blogs of my more diligent fellow riders. Also some U-tube footage summarising each of our days as well on the web page below – so check it out.

Thanks again for your help
