HARD YARDS • EARLIER THIS YEAR I UNDERTOOK THE TOUR AOTEAROA, A 3000-KILOMETRE BIKEPACKING ODYSSEY THE LENGTH OF NEW ZEALAND. IT TOOK 24 DAYS AND, WITH MY FRIEND STEPHEN MEES, WE RAISED OVER $15 000 FOR OXFAM. THE RIDE ALMOST BROKE ME, AND HAS LEFT ME CHANGED FOREVER. IT WAS PAINFUL, CHALLENGING AND REWARDING IN WAYS INDESCRIBABLE. HERE ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS.
