About to hit the road!

Hi fellow adventurers!

As we gear up for our next cycling escapade, Tour Kopikio, I can't help but feel the familiar mix of excitement and jitters. It's like the night before a big adventure is a prison sentence, and the morning brings the sweet taste of freedom. But before we hit the road, there are a few things keeping me up at night. Have we packed enough gear? Are we prepared for any mishaps along the way? And most importantly, do we have the all-important GPS coordinates locked and loaded?

Once we're all set and ready to roll, the initial heaviness of the bike might catch us off guard, but fear not – that feeling will soon be replaced by pure joy as we pedal away from the East Cape lighthouse, the first place in the world to greet the new day.

Leaving Mangawhai and work behind, the open road calls to us with its promise of adventure. The lush green landscapes and endless blue skies will be our companions as we wind our way along the roads. And let's not forget, it's not just about reaching our destination – the journey itself is an experience to be cherished.

So, are we feeling confident about our upcoming ride? Absolutely! With a little preparation and a whole lot of enthusiasm, we're ready to take on any cycling challenge that comes our way.

As we embark on this adventure, we must remember that resilience is not just about overcoming setbacks – it's about embracing them as opportunities for growth and transformation. So here's to embracing the bumps in the road and pedalling on with unwavering determination.

Until we are on the start line, keep calm and cycle on!

Cheers,
Matt
