This April, we're again supporting Cure Kids by participating in the Cure Kids Great Adventure Race. Our team will be blogging here about their exploits in training. Read more about last year's race.

  • Train tracks and bike repairs

    Posted by Julia.

    Maybe Alan would not confess it - but I’ll tell you now if you haven’t already guessed - he is a map geek. It may not be a revelation to some, but most people read books in their spare time, and although he does fit in a few about adventure travel, the rest of the time is spent looking at maps and planning a new adventure.

  • Karekare Tiki Tour

    It was 3 days after Julia and Alan had spent over 16 hrs mountain biking, trekking, wading, swimming, rock climbing, abseiling and rifle shooting to complete the ARC "12 hour" race; so an "easy" training day was on the cards!

  • Return to Riverhead

  • Urban Adventure

    Posted by Jon Wardrop

    Instead of the wilds of the Waitak's Alan decided on a cycling adventure around Auckland. It was an excuse to check out the cycle tracks around the suburbs, the afternoon was mainly biking with a bit of running thrown in and orienteering to finish.  Read more...

  • Training Week 2 - Mountain Biking

    Posted by Adrian Simpson

    Week 2 saw the team dusting off their mountain bikes for a session from Karekare to Piha and back. For those not too familiar with this area of the country, there are a few hills to contend with. Read more...
