It's raining again! I guess we need rain to make the plants grow, but I wish it would just rain at night time so we can go about our day tasks as usual. Plus it's nice to listen to the rain while in bed.
If you want to combine cycling with a trip to NZ this November, how about taking part in the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge - New Zealand’s premier cycling event – with a total of 12 different cycling events based around NZ's largest lake. Last year, over 11,000 people took part.
There is an event for every level of rider – a challenging but achievable 160 kilometre ride for individual riders or teams of two, three or four can participate in the team event, which is an achievable goal for new or less experienced riders. Plus there is the Extreme Enduro - eight times around the lake, covering 1280km!!!
